It doesn't change the ugly thing he said enough to even warrant mentioning it. It doesn't matter why he said it. We don't ever, in any kind of seriousness (and maybe even in a joke, though jokes get more leeway for me), say a kid should be raped. If you can't control yourself enough to not say that in public, you're not one of the good guys.
The left might not need good guys, right now..how has that been going? This is what I'm trying to stress. It might actually need shitty people willing to do and say shitty things when that serves the cause of either truth or the country.
Thats how the left found itself living in an alt-right hellscape to begin with. The right found enough people with the will-to-do, the will-to-say. Fair or not, good or not...it;s effective. The lefts constant obsession with high ground might mean they;ve won some ridiculous culture war..but they did so at the expense of losing -everything- else.
If it takes shitty people doing shitty things, it's not good. It's not effective. The left looks like a bunch of slobbering lunatics, right along with the right. They're indistinguishable.
