Tweet, Donny, Tweet!

Kudos to the Dem activists and hive minds of Defeat by Tweet, a new super PAC that makes Trump pay for every vile, lying, racist scrap of bile he spews - with black social justice groups gifted his unwitting largesse.

Oh sweet, pricey accountability. Maybe "the blacks" really will love him now.
