Just a few short months ago he'd swear on his own mothers grave he wasn't defending white supremacists or white supremacy and further, he didn't even have the slightest idea what anyone was going on about. Today, he swears that he absolutely does know what he's doing and will defend white supremacists because of his strong liberal commitments.
That's step one right there.
Not quite. I've always been proud to defend white supremacists and I don't think I've stuttered in my defense of them. That's not quite the same as me defending white supremacy, however. I don't endorse that troll calling AOC a big booty latina to her face, but I will completely defend his right to do so and I don't want him punished for it. So yes, that means I'm proud to defend misogynistic trolls, but it has nothing whatsoever to do with me endorsing or not endorsing that particular behaviour. And my mother doesn't have a grave. She's alive and well.
