"For the first time in a long while, her true feelings came out, showing bigotry and hatred for millions of Americans," Trump said Saturday in a statement rejecting her effort to walk back her remarks.

And there's no better expression of that weirdness than the clip below, in which Mark Halperin breathlessly badgers Johnson about it in vintage "what about your gaffes?!" fashion.
