1. I'm not surprised by the hatred

I am surprised that he's tone deaf as to expressing it.

3. The GOP is proud of their hatred and cruelty. They love it.

They are having the time of their lives.
Like Joni Ernst, they just double down on ugly cruelty.
It is fun for them.

2. He said it because he's a horrible person.

He won't apologize because he's a horrible person.

He will do it again because he's a horrible person.
