re: #679 Hercules Grytpype-Thynne

To be fair, in context it was pretty clear that what he meant by that was that he thought poor people were adequately protected by the current social safety net, not that he didn’t personally care what happened to them. Of course, even under this interpretation the statement reveals how out of touch he is - not to mention how gaffe-prone.

Poorly phrased, “I am concedrned less about the very poor than I am…” might have worked better.

I will say again, I am not looking for a smoking gun or felonious intent. I simply see this as an indication of how he would run the country, and it is a poor indicator.
