Right-wing radio host pulled off the air after attacks on Tim Walz’s son

Everyone please take note:

Barron Trump has been 100% unmentioned by anyone except when he was going to speak at some gathering, as an adult. Then, when he decided not to do that, everyone stopped talking about him entirely.

That is how you do that. If an adult is getting invovled in politics, they're fair game, regardless of who they're related to. People who aren't involved in politics, you leave them the fuck out of it.

Note that everyone mentioned in the article only regretted their statements once they realized the kid was disabled… Maybe just don’t make fun of people’s kids in general? Is that so difficult? WTF do his kids have to do with his political campaign???

Because the GOP have found that harassing random family members of their opponents is an effective strategy.

Think of how many people have exited politics because of threats to them or family members.. How many people, especially in the Trump years, who otherwise may have made good representatives, have decided that it's just not worth it? Think of the senators that refused to convict Trump during his impeachments because of threats to their families.

They do it because it works. Whether the kid had disabilities doesn't matter, outside of my belief that the more disabled the kid is, the more they're going to attack, simultaneously hoping to exploit a parent's desire to shield their child from harassment at any cost and the child's potential inability to defend themselves at all or even mentally process what's going on properly. They do it because it gets a rise out of their base, and also because of the sliver of a chance that maybe, just maybe Tim Walz will wake up in the morning and look for an exit because he's afraid he bit off more than he could chew.

They just don't know how to handle it when they realized that instead of backing off, he came back for another bite. So they're doing the only thing they know how to do. Attack. Punch down. Insult. Belittle. Make sure everybody knows you're better than "them", by any means necessary.

Exactly - who wouldn’t be emotional in a moment like that? Plenty of other people in the audience looked emotional, and it wasn’t even their dad on stage talking about how much he loves them.

Remember how they'd lose their minds if anyone mentioned Barron? Surprise surprise, that was all bullshit

Something President Obama said in his speech the other night - instead of making it about us and them, you try and find some common ground. And there's always something to agree on, even totally opposing sides. We're still people living our lives.

"That sense of mutual respect has to be part of our message. Our politics have become so polarized these days that all of us across the political spectrum seem so quick to assume the worst in others unless they agree with us on every single issue. We start thinking that the only way to win is to scold and shame and out-yell the other side. And after a while, regular folks just tune out, or they don’t bother to vote.

Now that approach may work for the politicians who just want attention and thrive on division, but it won’t work for us. To make progress on the things we care about, the things that really affect people’s lives, we need to remember that we’ve all got our blind spots and contradictions and prejudices. And that if we want to win over those who aren’t yet ready to support our candidates, we need to listen to their concerns and maybe learn something in the process. "

None of that is easy, and not everyone is going to change. But the other choice is to be like them, and that helps no one.

That might be the best part of his apology :

"I didn't realize the kid was disabled, and have taken the post down. But, I've been challenging Walz on substance AND character ever since he was named as the VP candidate. He's a congenital liar who's destroyed Minn in a number of ways"

Basically a dickwad with the mental age of a five year old who can't own up to his mistakes. He even deleted his apology lol.

Can't

They can indeed resist, they just don't wanna.

They're cowards who feel big when punching down

Just being assholes in general. The juxtaposition between this kid and the hell spawn of Trump is so telling. Sweet endearing kinda goofy kid vs. Abject jackasses.

As soon as I saw him react I knew these fucks would be childish about it.

Downvoting because your sarcasm is obvious. You misconstrue free speech, with business. This is a business. They are free to not hire people who push content they find objectionable.

If this guy was out on the street in his own free time spouting this crap and NOT on the air and not in an official capacity, then I may agree that it's a free speech issue.

I'm sure there are already dying memes in certain circles that spouted up before they realized this has nothing to do with politics. Let these assholes eat each other alive.

🤣

Tell that to the dipshit tweeting "WHERE IS HUNTER?" about the DNC.
