Okay, Scott Jennings, I Believe You

"In fact, I actually had some communication with the Trump campaign manager this morning and he used the word 'freelance.' So they had this comedian come up there and he freelanced. They didn't vet this, they didn't approve this, they didn't tell him to go out there and do this. So that's just simply not correct and they didn't—" 
“They didn't vet a speaker?" said Sidner incredulously. "Wait! They didn't vet any of the people?" 
"Well, I was told they didn't," stammered Jennings. "He went, he went up there and freelanced these remarks, meaning, no, they didn't go up there and say, here's your pre-approved remarks. So she's saying that the Trump campaign somehow sent him up there with his script and that's not — that is simply not accurate in my opinion, based on what I've heard today. And the Trump campaign has already denounced what he did, which was — I think, was the correct thing to do."
They didn’t vet the comic. Or approve his act. So how did he get up there? What did they expect? They should have known. Or they should have yanked him. I’ve seen comics get pulled for offensive material before. How much worse did he have to get? What does this say about the next Trump Administration? Only the best people? Again? Or will Trump just freelance it?

Like the rest of the speakers who took the stage before Trump, Hinchcliffe’s remarks were pre-loaded into a teleprompter, indicating that they would likely have been vetted by the campaign in advance.
Okay, Scott Jennings, you want to stop now? Or is everything Trump oversees just that incompetent? Or as racist as Trump?
