It& #39;s hard for me to see how Aaron Coleman& #39;s interests are served by this kind of tweet. https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1298298843713474561">https://twitter.com/ggreenwal...
There& #39;s a lot of screenshots circulating depicting really ugly behavior from Coleman in the very recent past. If those are real, then this kind of cheerleading is frankly obscene.
And I made the argument a couple of days ago that his actions as this scandal unfolded, as much as what he did in middle school, demonstrate that seeking public office isn& #39;t something he should be doing right now. https://twitter.com/studentactivism/status/1297553888808247299">https://twitter.com/studentac...
But let& #39;s say you disagree with all that—you think the reports of his recent abusive behavior are all fraudulent, and you& #39;re glad he& #39;s re-entering the race. Shouldn& #39;t you STILL—hell, even more so—be rooting for the national frenzy around his campaign to die down?
And when you look at this in the light of everything Greenwald& #39;s been saying about ancilliary ethical issues in the last few days?
Back for just a second, just to say that this is the logical endpoint of a worldview that says that people from older generations have no particular ethical obligations when interacting with young adults.
Update: The Intercept has confirmed the legitimacy of the screenshots mentioned near the top of this thread. https://theintercept.com/2020/08/25/aaron-coleman-ex-girlfriend-assault/">https://theintercept.com/2020/08/2...
