That's not what I fucking said. NOT going after this jerk for who he is creates a big problem for people of color and trans etc. How do we ignore what that asshole is when we're supposed to be the party fighting for them?. We don't get to excuse racism and misogyny etc.. just because they support someone associated with our side.

This just smells of white hetero privilege to see so many people looking the other way over this - and there's plenty all over the internet doing it. We may as well take an endorsement from David Duke too..

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
