Much of that is fair, but this one I'm not sure is correct. To my recollection the bipartisan elites were mostly shying away from the Islamophobia that was pervasive on Fox News (and its ilk). Part of Trump's differentiation from the GOP field was being willing to say the things that politicians hadn't been saying.
