In reply to the discussion: David Hogg Masterfully Trolls The Gillette Commercial MAGAts [View all]NurseJackie

Calling out his immature behavior is not an attack. Just because he's not man enough to apologize in all these months makes it worse... it doesn't excuse or diminish his childish tantrum and the vulgar words hurled at her.
I guess I just have higher standards when it comes to the behavior I'm willing to accept from "progressive" activists. Someone's lack of awareness of his being an asshole to Pelosi does not change the facts or make his immaturity go away.
I expect more from people like him. Everyone should. Stop making excuses for him. As progressives, we deserve better behavior from activists like him. He's volunteered to do a man's job, then he should act like one. No excuses.
