My mentions are full of people who refuse to see the importance of preserving this crucial distinction, regardless of how unsavory Coleman appears to have been at 12, 14 and right now.https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1298597993940234240 …

The revelation about Bill Clinton happened 22 years ago, so for most of us we were kids. We damn well better have higher standards than our parents did, because they sucked. There is no single individual so useful that we need to tolerate them being a misogynistic abuser.

If it came out AOC practiced revenge porn at 14, would you really think that wasn’t shocking information relevant to whether she should hold power? Because I would expect an immediate resignation, personally. Since she is worthy of power, I believe she would agree.

Weaponized huh. Yk I keep seeing the words "bad acts" from you Glenn. Such a nice innocuous term. We're not talking about offensive tweets. He committed a crime. And it almost killed someone. And ppl like you downplaying his "acts" is one reason why they keep happening.

PS my abuser was 15. He knew what he was doing. But it was a while ago so I guess it just plain doesn't matter anymore huh Yup his victims' lives are fucked forever but heaven forbid he face the consequence of *checks notes* not having a political career at 19. The horror.

If a candidate I like turns out to be a serial abuser they aren't going to be a candidate I like anymore. Problem solved.

He was still treating his girlfriend like shit 2 years ago. He's made no amends or shown any effort to change. It's barely even past. It's not equivalent to someone able to speak about growing after youthful mistakes. Coleman hasn't shown any of the reflection necessary for that.

The question was never as simple as "a single act in childhood." It was always, "a series of acts, where he suffered no consequences, over several years, and WHETHER HE HAD TRULY REFORMED." There were several indicia IN THE INITIAL ARTICLES that he never sincerely reformed.

Glenn, the first step to getting out of a hole is to stop digging.
