In the 12 days since Ohio’s junior senator was tapped as the future of Donald J. Trump’s movement, old comments and a chorus of derision have blunted any sense of invulnerability.
no better than the people spreading lies about Hillary or Obama
I don’t think that people with different skin color, or sexuality should be made to suffer for it, so I would suggest I’m better than most of them in that regard.
I also don’t have any problem with people ridiculing obama or hillary. That’s obviously fine. All politicians deserve ridicule and our society is improved when the powerful are regularly insulted.
As long as it isn’t being used to reinforce dangerous hatreds like racism, sexism, homophobia etc. - which increases the danger to the already marginalized - why would anyone care?
