he also was doing this stuff when he was 14, so five years ago. no one is saying he should go to jail, but maybe he shouldn’t hold power in a representative body.

He didn't come remotely close to suggesting that he shouldn't be "allowed to run for office." You're just inventing that from nothing. He *is* saying that people shouldn't vote for him, which is...completely valid? People are allowed to offer their election opinions.

He's ALLOWED to run for office, and people are allowed to be horrified at the circumstances under which he did so and fiercely denounce him in the press and exhort the voters to vote against him in the general election, which still hasn't happened

What do you mean by "public life", exactly? I wouldn't support giving him a job as a talk show host or a tenured faculty position at a university either I have no objection to him going ahead and living the life the vast majority of 19-year-olds lead

What I think is getting people so heated in their defense of him is they identify with the idea of some 19-year-old rando sleepwalking his way into viral fame and becoming a public figure and they're mad at the media gatekeepers for trying to snatch that away

But the gatekeepers are doing their job This is a gate that should be kept There is no reason for this guy to be in any kind of position of leadership or power or influence at the age of 19

That you think there's something out of bounds about people getting upset about him running for elected office and saying in the strongest possible terms not to vote for him or elevate him further
