“If you’re a Republican, you’re in the right place. If you’re a Democrat, you’re in the right place. If you’re an independent, you’re in the right place. We’re all human beings, and we’re going to start treating one another that way.” -- Beto O’Rourke

Reporter: "I'm sorry?"
Trump: "Go ahead"
Damn you if you voted for this asshole.

Trump openly mocked Christine Blasey Ford’s sexual assault testimony at a rally. He is such a waste of human flesh.
