35. Weird that you claim to be against selective agenda driven gotcha while being selective yourself

See you only mentioned 1 of the 3 ex girlfriends, you don't mention the other 2 who were Democrats. Also pretending his problems were long ago doesn't account for him sexting on his wife, using retarded as a slur, being a big fan of an antisemitic conspiracy nut, and behaving poorly towards women in just the last 5 years. That's not long ago. What's the demonstrated evidence he's not who he was and at times continues to be? If a Republican had a nazi tattoo for 20 years would you believe it was just an innocent mistake?

And how exactly is accounting for things he's said and done character assassination? Please be explicit in your definition of how pointing out his red flags fits this definition. Is it character assassination to say Trump is a corrupt criminal or is that simply part of who he is?

And no I don't have an issue with cishet white guys running. I have a problem with this particular one because he has a long history of problems of being exclusionary towards minorities. I have no problem with my cishet white guy senator Ed Marley. Jon Ossoff, good. I literally explained why I don't think he's going to do what he says for groups who aren't cishet white guys because of his own actions. Likewise, are you sure you aren't being just as selective as you accuse me of being in how you're interpreting what he has to say as evidence he will be good for everyone?

At least I provided specifics examples of where I think he's been repeatedly exclusionary of many groups via his words and actions.
