Although he was not one of the perpetrators of the 2000 coup d'etat in the United States, it's time he apologized to make you feel better.

A criminal cabal stole the election and seized your government, ending the pretense to democracy. It surely hurts, and the denial must run deep. How much easier to beat up on a legitimate but not powerful third-party candidate, even though he had nothing to do with the criminal events.
