    “For the sake of both of our kids? Grow up,” he replied. “Racist trolls on the internet, while offensive, don’t threaten my kids. You know what does? A culture that denies grace to people who make mistakes. A culture that encourages congressmen to act like whiny children.”

    What a weird distorted way of thinking.

          That’s even fucking worse. Not even having any empathy with your own kids. No wonder they all hate him.

          You’re talking about the guy who, during the election, said “obviously she’s not white” about his wife out loud in front of cameras and on purpose.

      Following the Trump playbook of always attack and never defend or apologize. The dude literally posted racist shit in September and they’re acting like it was ancient history of something the guy posted decades ago.
