    Gaetz cannot be taken seriously by a society that will survive the next 20 years, much less recognized as an authority. Disregard, and problems like that go away, or find themselves in prison.

    Maybe send the author a kind word about it, then. It doesn't sound like she has as much faith in her own inferences.

    She could have easily have made some comment about the cognitive dissonance of people self-exceptionalizing against their own beliefs. But yeah, my fantasies catch up with me at night, too. I'm just glad I don't post them on Twitter.

    That poor fool thinking you can apologize your way out of Twitter backlash.

    Nothing like disproving stereotypes is there? The right claims the left makes everything about race, the left calls such sentiments nonsense, then proceeds to prove the right’s point.

    I’ve got a few Irish-American stereotypes I’d like to disprove, but would only reinforce them.

    Which part does she think was racist, that she's apologizing for? That all rapists are black, or that all lawmakers are white supremacists?

    You should talk to her about it. I’m sure at this point she’s ready to LISTEN.

    The only thing I want to hear about Matt Gaetz rhymes with “inschmightment.”

    Tweet each of those separately and let us know which one gets more uproar.

    I really wish Musk would run Twitter into the ground, because of this sort of shit right here.

    I'm glad to hear that you support Matt Gaetz finding enlightenment and casting off the prejudices, cruelty, and selfishness that have defined him to this point, joining us all in a circle of common humanity. That is very welcoming and empathetic of you.

    No thanks needed, I’m just a humanitarian at heart. It’s why I also fully support abortion rights for trans women.

    I applaud your empathy. I too enthusiastically support aborting a pregnancy that isn't in a uterus. Hell, you could abort the pregnant person right along with it.

    In a surprise twist, you're going to see a lot of women going to Mexico for abortions. Oh the irony.

    I'm gonna start a Cannonball Run to get women in red states to abortion clinics on the coast in record time. You may say that's reckless, and an accident at those speeds could induce a miscarriage, to which I say: potato potato.

    I've never been more ambivalent about an obvious smear campaign designed to destroy a human being over personally embarrassing, but professionally irrelevant, things before. Like... he doesn't deserve this, but he deserves something different but worse, and so... I guess?

    I mean, the smear is obviously that he’s gay which I guess is more of a sin than being an obvious nazi in todays GOP.

    Google obviously doesn’t have fast updates for Cawthorn scandals. Hell, the only thing I can find that directly references a new one is Cawthorn’s tweet about it.
