"It was too racist for me."

In all seriousness, they are ok with the dog whistle stuff but when its obvious, they have to deny it publicly

However, Everything Trump said up to this point was cool with him!!!!
so now we know Kirk's acceptance level of racism.

He was too racist for Mark Kirk, and for Ryan, it was only Trump's statement that was racist.
In those two, we see that tolerance varies from shit stain to shit stain.
