*Trump's racial tendencies are well known going back to the Central Park Five and well before with Trump's father.
*Rep. Steve King's latest racial statements are simply a directional marker as to where the Trump led GOP is headed.

*The bulk Republican silence on King's remarks is simply deafening, but also very telling.
