From the Access Hollywood tape to the “shithole countries” comment, the problem isn’t the words, it’s the ideas.

PHOENIX (AP) — Police say a 24-year-old Gilbert man admitted striking a 4-year-old girl when she spilled milk, and a judge says the child may not survive her injuries. Major Aaron Murry was arrested Thursday on suspicion of child abuse but Superior Court Commissioner Jane McLaughlin said during a Friday initial appearance that Murry could face additional charges because the girl "may not survive" and because there's evidence of child molestation.
