Liberal here defending the man who did four voluntary tours of Iraq and Afghanistan because he, in his own words, wanted to kill some people. Then joined Blackwater mercenary company to guard the most infamous torture camp in our recent history, got the second most known Nazi symbol tattooed on his chest, described rape as a show of domination against other people, went to right-wing, redpill Podcasts as a primary candidate, and is just another petty bourgeois from a rich family who inherited an Oyster business and is larping as a working class man.

While we should rightfully interrogate the sources that report on him, real progressives were calling out his bullshit wayyyy before the NYT wrote any pieces on him.

Don’t try to act like we’ve been brainwashed after the fact, we’ve been pretty consistent on saying he is a war criminal piece of shit from the very beginning, by his own admission!

Why should we ignore what he himself said about his own war crimes just because the NYT reported on it?

NYT taking advantage of your mistakes doesn’t mean that you didn’t make a mistake
