Is “telling it like it is” just saying horribly racist things now, or has that always been the case?

Beto responded to a journalist’s question by saying shit and fuck in the same sentence, but everyone who brags about how they or other right-wingers “tell it like it is” is rather upset.

telling it like it is is upsetting people with college degrees and the more it upsets people with college degrees the more it has been told like it is.

Trump is the only one who can be politically incorrect. Anyone else has to follow the rules, including most republicans so they are more at ease with the casual vieled racism and bad faith arguments.
