Its generally difficult for political positions that lack evidence to take a seat at the table of sourceable information.

If you have specific points then that may be discussable, but making grand general statements like that doesnt yield any productive discussion.

In this example the argument is made that all statements should be treated equally, but the argument is also made that the weight and intentions of statements matters more. I'd argue that's true given that public figures and people in general walk back their statements after being called out. It doesn't mean they don't mean the original statement. So in the search for truth the most honest and supported position is the evidence presented on Trump's racism. Which is sourced.

So I'm not following on how that's a good example of 'bias' unless there's something specific I'm missing.
