I’m sorry, the man may have been insulting but he wasn’t threatening. If you want to make a (very lucrative) living being a controversial public figure, you need to accept that you will attract other kinds of attention besides adulation. https://t.co/SHHOTfeLtD

Didn’t this particular public figure tell his viewers to accost people wearing masks outside, and to call Child Protective Services if they saw a child wearing a mask? It seems he supports accosting people in public for political reasons. He thinks that ethic can’t apply to him? https://t.co/yarxCFGrxX

One of the few things that gets support from some media and political elites across the spectrum is the idea that politics is a show, a game, a way to make money; so if non-elites take elite impact seriously when those elites want to be off the clock, that’s deeply wrong.
