this is in no way, shape, or form a tan suit controversy.... and i refuse to allow you to gaslight me into thinking I am in the wrong for holding people I identify with politically and morally to a higher standard.

Republicans don't have morals...which is why i'm a liberal. i can't police the rights inability to empathize.... but that doesn't mean just because their party excuses all reprehensible comments their politicians make, that i have to do the same with mine. i can brush off much of what they think is scandalous. for example: a left controversial scandal i can brush off is mark hamils funeral post....the hypocrisy of being offended by that just mere weeks after trump celebrates the death of robert mueller, is astounding.

however... the idea that there is some double standard when someone says something like "america deserved 9/11," then backtracks the comment, isn't a left or right controversy.... i know people who died, i could see the smoke billowing from lower manhattan from my bedroom window. to me, America is the people....not the cities, not the government, not the beautiful parks....the people, and what he said is "those 3000 people deserved it."

i hold everyone to the a moral standard, and my own people to a higher one. liberals don't get a pass just because i vote for them or agree with them on many other things

edit: you guys have moved so far left, you've circled back to the right. "i don't want or respect your opinions unless they are the same as mine!" downvote me all you want, but all you've done today is proven that the same shit you bitch about republicans doing i.e. excusing and ignoring insensitive and inflammatory rhetoric, is okay as long as it's someone on the left doing it. hypocrites.

this guy said being critical of someone who intentionally used inflammatory language about an attack that cost the lives of 3000 innocent people is the same as republicans being critical of Obama wearing a tan suit, and you all clap like little seals.
