Not a question of 'getting away with' anything but rather accurately calling out a racist POTUS and his equally bigoted supporters.

Fox News polling: Americans think Trump’s tweets were racist
The Fox poll also asked respondents directly whether they thought the “go back” tweets were racist. Most said they were, including half of white respondents. Republicans and Trump voters generally said they weren’t — though even about a fifth of those who supported him in 2016 said the tweets were racist.
Imagine that? 20% of the morons who supported Trump believe his tweets were racist.
That overlaps with a detail that’s buried a bit in the poll. Fox asked a question in this new poll that it also asked in August 2017, shortly after the violence in Charlottesville: Does Trump respect racial minorities?
Most respondents said he doesn’t, with Democrats and independents seeing Trump’s views on race less favorably than Republicans or other Trump supporters.
But since 2017, even Trump’s base is more skeptical about his views on race. Among Republicans, the density of those who say he respects racial minorities fell 14 points over the past two years. Less than two-thirds of evangelicals now think Trump respects minorities; nearly three-quarters did two years ago.
Again, this poll is the first live-caller poll to ask about the tweets that drove much of last week’s political conversation. That most Americans see Trump’s tweets as racist and that Republican support for Trump’s racial views has dropped is an interesting finding.
But it doesn’t appear to have been considered particularly newsworthy by Fox News itself. A review of closed-captions from Wednesday captured by the Internet Archive and a search of Fox content on the site TVEyes turned up several mentions of the poll itself on air during Wednesday’s primetime hours and on Thursday morning — but none of its findings on Trump’s tweets or his views on race.
