I watched the video ([here is a direct link to the video](https://twitter.com/thehill/status/1051853260309573632), BTW). My thoughts? It sounded like fairly typical red meat for a party’s base that gets thrown out at a campaign rally. Nothing in that video jumped out at me as particularly galling or offensive. I didn’t see anything that distinguishes him in a meaningful way from the average politician that infests DC, certainly nothing that raises him to a particularly high (or is it low?) level of “nasty despicable pandering hater” with enough distinction to set him apart from the rest of the field. IOW, this is typical-politician-levels of “nasty despicable pandering” in my view.
