Immigrants stealing and eating pets is a racist trope that’s been around for literally more than a century. That at least two US senators, the GOP VP nominee and the world’s richest twit fell for it tells you that they aren’t just bigots, they’re the simplest, dullest variety of bigot.

Imagine being Nikki Haley. You endure all the racism, threats, and hate from running against Trump in the primary, then eat your last shred of dignity and endorse him anyway. Then Dick fucking Cheney comes along and shows how low the bar for moral courage is that you couldn’t clear.
