I hate when people talk like this

The fact that he’s introducing race into this prosecution surprises me, it’s disgusting, it’s textbook Donald Trump, but it comes as no surprise.

So surprise or no?

"I was surprised, but I shouldn't have been."

Yea, the phrase "in retrospect" or something like it should sit in the middle there in the original, for clarity. It's technically not incorrect to imply it but damn does it look like bad writing.

Just shitty journalism. They're not wrong, but they're bad at their job
