If you're a Republican being asked about Trump's most recent racist tweets, you have to develop a very unique skill set. Swiftly ducking into elevators and temporarily forgetting how Twitter works is a good start.

What follows is an amusingly brutal takedown featuring some very impressive use of a pot plant.
