      Chris Geidner Retweeted Andrew Sullivan

      This tweet is EMBARRASSING. Sullivan is OBSESSED with presenting a bad-faith reading of Sarah's tweets as something that his very intelligent mind KNOWS is not the case.https://twitter.com/sullydish/status/1025522069201711104 …

      This thread is AMAZING. Jeong is OBSESSED by hatred of white people. HUNDREDS of racist tweets. https://twitter.com/nickmon1112/status/1025437806775226368 …

      Why do you assume he’s not sincere? I never for a moment thought he’s not representing his actual views. This isn’t an act.

      I mean “he was nice to me...?” The writing and the decisions were all public? That’s part of who he is.

      Replying to @RachelLarris

      I am not sure what you're talking about at this point. I didn't say I have my views because he was nice to me, so don't act like that's what I said. What "writing" and "decisions" are you talking about?

      Replying to @chrisgeidner

      I do apologize for that. Here’s what I meant about his decision and writing was all public: publishing the Bell Curve. Defending it to this day. He’s had multiple other times he’s written in a racist way about topics. People have talked about how he ran TNR and race.

      Yes. I know, I know, I know. And I was a 17-year-old white, closeted gay kid in Youngstown, Ohio, when he published it. When I came out, he was one of the most prominent people writing about gay issues in a voice that I understood.

      He and Evan Wolfson were writing and talking about marriage when others were afraid to say the word. I was in DC when DOMA was passed. Andrew's work on marriage was important.

      he declared millions of americans traitors. no matter how good he was on marriage doesn't make up for his promotion of racist pseudoscience and his years of smears against honest people.

      And I have no defense to that, nor would I. That's my point.

          A "blind spot" is an inability to see something as it is, as I understand it. I also responded the other place you said this.

          I’m not coming at you. You had another tweet where you assumed Sullivan’s tweets about Sarah were bad-faith. Meaning he KNEW they were racist, but he made a false case. I expressed surprise at that assumption. Then I read your second tweet. As you knew him personally. That matter

          I’m not knocking your personal history with him. Just the initial tweet assuming he was smart enough to know better about his tweets when...he’s got this history.
