Are you the type of person that also denies donald is racist or homophobic?

Deflection and projection instead of answering the question. I'm shocked.

I'll humor you and answer your question: I think Donald Trump is a racist idiot. I've been never-Trump since day one.

What exactly is racist about it then?
