Eminem is trending this morning for — what else? — trashing Donald Trump and Trump supporters in a new rap video at the BET awards. Some lyrics from the NY Times:
“And any fan of mine/who’s a supporter of his/I’m drawing in the sand a line/you’re either for or against/and if you can’t decide/who you like more and you’re split/on who you should stand beside/I’ll do it for you with this,” he raps, before giving the middle finger to the camera.

But in a news cycle dominated by Harvey Weinstein, is Eminem really the guy libs want to talk up?
If you're in a Weinstein/sexual harassment firestorm, it's not smart to make Eminem your anti-Trump point man. https://t.co/xzej35R0xp

“Slut, you think I won’t choke no whore/’Til the vocal cords don’t work in her throat no more?!/Shut up slut, you’re causin too much chaos.”

“That I’ll still be able to break a motherfuckin’ table/Over the back of a couple of faggots and crack it in half.”

Bash Trump and all of your past sins are forgiven:
Eminem also writes homophobic lyrics, talking about "breaking tables over the backs of faggots."
Democrats support this?#Eminem pic.twitter.com/cJ5T85mU9V

The Left on Eminem yesterday : homophobic, abusive, misogynist, washed up, not in the top 5
The Left today: Eminem is a Rap God
