The video. The video is worse than I could have fathomed. He clearly thinks Douglass is alive, ie has NO IDEA who he is. "Big impact." Help. https://t.co/CJzijcKi34

These are the people claiming that Hillary Clinton’s “head trauma” made her unfit to be president. If this was your grandpa, you’d be figuring out how to hide his car keys and checkbook before something terrible happened.
It looks like Spicer doesn't know who Douglass was either. Neither of them even seem to know that he's dead.https://t.co/wpFroMkcZN

Look for a spate of pieces explaining that THIS IS FINE because, meh, it’s not like Trump’s “base” knows who Frederick Douglass was, or cares whether their Dear Leader should’ve at least read the bullet points before going on camera…
@daveweigel no it was both sides. people who campaigned for him and people who worked for him.
