NYT’s Mara Gay on the Anti-Media Meme: It’s ‘Hard to Believe [Trump] Didn’t Enjoy It’

But I think for those of us who are people of color in this country, who are women, who are refugees or Jewish or part of any minority group, and also part of the media at this point, you know, there are real people’s bodies and lives on the line.

There’s something very ugly at the heart of Trumpism and we saw that id in this video.”
