I’m going to share an unpopular position on this one.

In each of these examples, it seems, Rep. Gaetz is referencing quotes that Sharpton made about SPECIFIC PEOPLE.

Does anyone expect him to use pleasantries when talking about his real/perceived enemies?

I don’t...
Are the statements crude - YES!

... but, he only deserves it bc he is self-anointed ‘Race Police’.

I have called some of best friends crude names before - they laughed their asses off and returned fire.

Do we want nice words or do we want ‘real’?
I mean... it’s not like he called victims of sex violence ‘Bimbo Interruptions’, or is it?!?
I’m pulling a ‘full stop’ - a phrase I despise. - bc a lot of ppl are confused w/my point...

Al Sharpton is below the dignity of congress for a whole lot of reasons...

I’m not defending him - I’m talking out about the tactics!

Are we the PC Police now?
Soundbite victory only...

And at what cost?
