Er, not to be the self appointed tone police but maybe worth

an edit here?

Like I’m sure republicans are tickled that a guy with a tattoo with nazi connotations and a history of disturbing online comments got the dem nomination in a vulnerable state- but I am deeply uncomfortable with calling someone going public with SA allegations “swiftboating”….

There is a lot of disturbing info about this guy and has been for months. I find it baffling that he got this far but that’s not the point here. It’s concerning if TPG is place where we don’t take accusations of sexual wrongdoing seriously, especially those made with someone’s full name and with a significant amount of documentation over the past few years.

Not trying to be combative or insult your fav (and I agree with the vast majority of his positions, which shouldn’t matter but just fyi) but would be great to not dismiss women’s experiences because it’s politically inconvenient.
