I think you are not seeing the point of the article. It is not about giving Trump a pass. But rather about sticking to the issues and not resurrecting McCarthyism. Many of the other claims being made are without merit and serve to move us away from progressive principles (which rejecting McCarthiyism is one of) and into dangerous territory.
