We have an obligation in politics and public life, when someone says inappropriate things, to say so

4. Axelrod seems to forget McClurkin as surrogate to his campaign, you know?

“I think we have an obligation in politics and public life, when someone, even friends, say things that are inappropriate to say so. In certain ways, when your friends say it, there is more of an obligation to do so."
So do I. Sadly, rather than speaking against the slanders, Axelrod's campaign hired the hate speakers and then defended them.
So I guess it is a matter of another exception for slandering gay people. I mean, Axelrod and his candidate hired a surrogate who says gay people are 'trying to kill our children'. So he seems less than honest here.
