McGowan: I’m so tired of it. Honest to God, the only reason we’re talking about Hasan Piker is because he’s on the left. We have had right-wing shock jocks for years. We had freaking Rush Limbaugh ringing a bell every time a gay person died of AIDS. We have Nick Fuentes dining at Mar-a-Lago after he says, “Your women are your body. My choice.” We’ve got these right-wing Christian zealots who said women shouldn’t vote and we’re nothing but vessels. They are all on the right wing, and we’re not asking every single Republican candidate and sitting person if they approve of them, if they should disown them
Rothman: I’m old enough to remember when every Republican in Congress was asked to respond to things Rush Limbaugh said.
McGowan: He got a Presidential Medal of Freedom from the president we have now, so please stop.
Every Republican candidate and elected official must immediately condemn Republican influencer and activist Catturd for this terrible opinion, since those are now the rules. pic.twitter.com/PQuG8l4htz
