Rep. Alcee Hastings was recently speaking at an event in Florida and decided it was appropriate to make a joke about President Trump drowning and how awful it would be if someone saved him.
Try to imagine the reaction from Democrats and the media if a Republican made the same joke about Obama while he was president. They would go crazy and the Republican would be called a racist.
The Daily Caller reports:
DEM REP. ALCEE HASTINGS JOKES ABOUT PRESIDENT TRUMP DROWNING IN THE POTOMAC RIVER
“I will tell you one joke,” Hastings said. “Do you know the difference between a crisis and a catastrophe?”
“‘A crisis is if Donald Trump falls into the Potomac River and can’t swim,’” Hastings said, retelling the joke. “‘And a catastrophe is anybody saves his ass.’”
The crowd cheered and whooped in delight at the joke.

Is this what Democrats now consider humor? Also, do they not realize doing things like this ultimately helps Trump?
