You see how he’s always hedging his comparison with the great Abraham Lincoln, because, yes, on the one hand Lincoln did a lot for African Americans, but on the other hand—you can see his mind working here—maybe that came at the expense of our very fine Confederate patriots.

When he compares himself to Lincoln he worries that this might be insulting to his fine Confederate-flag-waving base. Thus, even when boasting about his support for African Americans, he has to send out a reassuring dog-whistle.
