It’s like the al franken thing. What he did in that joking photo was 100% wrong. But was it requiring he be expelled? Further, an active, effective blue legislator was lost for something conservatives would never have done. In some cases that’s a damn good thing.
So, on the one hand, punishment and criticism was required, but the standard is so sky high that dems just lose to republicans.
Please be clear, I’m not condoning his behavior or suggesting nothing should have happened, but I think the action shouldn’t have been running him out of town without question.
Completely agree.
