I believe the platner case is a testament to how bad self entitlement has perforated U.S. society. That one could inflict so much pain and suffering upon their fellow human beings and expect to be met with society's open arms. That is a privileged person who has never known accountability for their own actions. Second chances are earned not simply given.

I’m a Black male Democrat and Mona you spoke for me during this whole charade. As a Black man I could not look past the tattoo - especially paired with the Reddit comments on assault, Nazis, LGBT, and Black people. The Purple Heart recipient too!!!

Mona’s fire and Will’s humbleness makes for a great conversation. Thank you.

Maybe the question is: why don't decent people want to be in politics anymore? What has our system become?

Exactly. If we become just like them, we’ve lost the war.
