Some idiot commented on Stefanik's weight under a news story about her. He has like 20 followers.
Rare to see someone so prominent lean into a rando so thoroughly.
People being unfairly shunned has probably always been an issue. But I think we can admit that people aren't really troubled by the concept of shunning so much as people they agree with getting shunned.
Also, for the record, this guy's comment sucks. Don't say shit about a woman's weight.

A Harvard professor requests to speak to a lawyer. He's interrupted by an FBI agent, who claims he "doesn't play tricks." Then goes to the oldest trick in the book.
A court ruled that this invocation wasn't clear enough. But it sure looks like the officer understood it to be an invocation of the right.
Still, courts don't like suppressing evidence.
Long story short, never talk to the police without a lawyer present. It doesn't work for regular people. It doesn't work for lawyers. It doesn't work for Harvard nanotechnology professors.
It's always so interesting reading worshipful interviews with Trump. Because he can't really stay on topic, there's a lot of talk about the things he owns and very little in the way of direct quotes.
"We discussed" this. Or he "rattled off" that. But few quotes.
What was in the "detailed" list of irregularities?
What was Trump's excellent advice for how to strengthen the GOP during the midterms? What were the arcane rules he was noting!?
You could have literally just written "he said a bunch of smart stuff."
I especially love the part where Hemingway, anticipating that people will think her interviews suck, says she's just not the sort of interviewer who expects people to answer her questions.
Instead they can just talk to her about whatever and she'll write it up glowingly.
Then there would be "howls" from Democrats who, foolishly, might insist that the winner should be President.
Pence then moves it to the House, who also elects Trump.
Assuming THIS somehow doesn't work then you just filibuster making Biden President and somehow insist that a bunch of random people who are friends with Republican state reps somehow decide who is President.
Here's the story of another 15 year old who died while exercising on a hot day. But there's no vaccination angle so obviously no one is going to talk about it.
When I left my job as a Paulding Public Defender, I wrote a post on the defense attorney list-serv looking for a replacement, saying that Dick Donovan, the previous DA, was incompetent and you'd win a bunch of cases.
Turns out he had honorary access to the list-serv. /1
My now former boss was calling and yelling at me to apologize, trying to smooth all this over. It struck me as a bit of an overreaction, but I had to talk to my boss at my new job about it when I joined.

Dick Donovan has since been placed on leave for lying about sexually harassing an employee, requiring a $300,000 payment from the county.
