When you tie [Donald] Trump supporters to those groups [the American Nazi party and the KKK ] that is a slur.

I think I always stand up for what I believe in.

Wouldn't it be useful to explain the factors that actually allowed this to happen [Donald's Trump Presidency]. Like, for example, their frustration of the absolute shrinking of the middle class, the heroin epidemic, things like that. I don't see any of that.

Is calling English our national language racist? Are we at that point?

The American Nazi party and the KKK don't really exist in a meaningful way. They may have an office or website. But they are not tens of thousands of members.

The two things I was positive about in life were that I was going to be a teacher at a boarding school or an operative with the CIA posted abroad. I could write a book about all the things I was sure about.

I'm in the business of value judgments .
