The ploy goes like this: Issue a pious, indignant statement denouncing the racist quip or act while at the same time being careful not to make any connection between the racist actions and the GOP. The added element in the Arbery murder is that theres another script in such cases that Trump can borrow from. That is demonizing the unarmed young Black male victim of a cop killing. This is done by digging up every scratch of dirt on the victim an arrest, a criminal charge, drug use, or family dysfunctionality. Then plaster that in the headlines to smear the victim. This feeds the well-worn stereotyped of the crime and violence prone young Black male. This does much to color, jade and taint the case. The seed is firmly planted in the public mind that maybe the victim was not Simon pure and totally blameless.
