> Or was it when he said that a Black president would bring "1000 years of darkness"?

I looked this one up. It's true. He's been going out of his way to be a political firebrand and claiming milquetoast Democrats are Satan for decades. It wasn't some offhand comment when cornered on stage. He's pushed white christian nationalism hard for quite some time.

Sad, because it was so unnecessary, divisive, and crazy--a black mark on his legacy.

But it's not true the way GP phrased it. Norris did not say if a black man was elected then there would be 1000 years of darkness, he said it about a specific man who happens to be black. It's silly, but unless you're claiming that black politicians get special exemptions, his race is immaterial to this quote.

		If you look at the wider context, it's harder to deny the racism.

Nah. The part where his name was relevant again because of the jokes and he started the eating and suing people over it.

It was the part where he didn't say things like this about other people.

		Looked it up and he did say these things, pretty shocking how racist he was. RIP, hope he finds peace in the afterlife and leaves the hate behind.

		Except he did worse by his actions. And did say that about other people. Like Obama being born in Kenya. Dude was racist
