It turns out that the guy is a 62 year old ex-Marine and Trump supporter. Oops.

That was a pretty bad gaffe. Not sure what Trump was thinking.
He's probably so used to black people protesting that he automatically jumps to the conclusion without thinking further. Stupid.
BTW Barry, while that Vox article seems fine, I hope you can admit that Vox has generally been terrible during this election season.
I actually read pieces from both sides of the aisle, and I find that Vox is the left-wing site most guilty of publishing misleading or downright false articles. They've really become a sad mouthpiece of the extreme left.
I have found that certain right wing sites suffer from the same issues, but from what I've seen, these tend to be fringe sites without a huge following. Vox is way too big to be putting out as high of percentage of crap articles as they do. Sadly, I keep seeing well-meaning liberals attempting to quote Vox articles on Facebook, only to be made fools of when people point out all the holes. Often the people criticizing the holes are centrist types, so it's not a matter of people actively searching for ways to rebut them.
Vox is really just a shit operation.
Maybe they're doing this on purpose because that's what their readership wants to see. I know that's what some of the right wing sites are doing. I've seen some of those sites publish misleading or poorly-reasoned articles simply to pacify their right-wing audiences, and I cringe when I read them, knowing pandering bullshit when I see it.
I just hope you see the same pandering bullshit when you read Vox.
