Bates is part of Trump’s campaign, described as “director of rapid response”. If I’m Biden, I would not elevate his tweet, or the man, with a direct reply from myself, but that’s me.

I understand the St. Louis couple, who held guns while protestors walked by their residence awhile back, spoke at the GOP convention last night. A closer look at the couple reveals they are, well, not my kind of neighbor, lol. I mean, like wow....

The St. Louis couple charged with waving guns at protesters have a long history of not backing down
Mark McCloskey is almost always in conflict with somebody, typically over control of private property, what people can do on that property, and whose job it is to make sure

It's enlightening to see just how intellectually handicapped a significant portion of our country can be. I don't respond tho.
You can elevate an opinion by responding to it, even if that response is to repudiate. If members of Biden campaign repudiate Spencer, why elevate Spencer by having Biden do it?

I think Red meant Bates is part of Biden's campaign team. There's no reason for a presidential candidate to give any more oxygen to Nazis by responding themselves imo.

And I'm saying the dems really latched on to Trump not publicly distancing himself from David Duke support and what not.
I'm sure now, to make the comparison complete and the implied charge of hypocrisy accurate, you'll point to the tweet from Trump's campaign team the told David Duke to go away.

What? I'm saying the dems killed Trump for not shutting down Duke and other white supremacist support so if they then don't shut it down on their end that would be hypocritical of them. No? Are we on the sam page? Or what's going on here?

Do you really think the support among white supremacists between the two camps is in any way comparable? Or that they've both actively courted support among those groups?

Neither of those are what my argument is. The dems demanded Trump shut down any support from racists, but will they do the same now that the ball is in their court? Did Trump get more support? Sure. Did he actively court them? Not totally sold on that. But either way Biden has the chance to tell him to go to hell now. Or in my opinion, is a hypocrite.
