Core to playing this down is pretending that "Young Republicans" aren't 40 years old with top positions in both the party and government. One's a state senator.
the "kids" were mostly 30+ years old and said they love hitler

Third, when is Ken Vogel going to quit fucking that chicken.
Hey, couple of quick questions.
First, what year is it? Second, who was president in 2017?

This was pretty much the same assumption underlying McAuliffe's last campaign.
Spanberger and Virginia Dem leadership have the explicit attitude that "she's guaranteed to win so is under no obligation to have a campaign platform, make promises to voters or adopt issue positions". Which explains why every Democratic win over the past 60 years has been a Pyrrhic victory.

JD Vance makes Spiro Agnew look like Pericles.
staring straight into the camera and lying. just a despicable person and a poor excuse for a national leader.
Vance: “People on the left are much likelier to defend and celebrate political violence. This is not a both sides problem. If both sides have a problem, then one side has a much bigger and malignant problem and that is the truth.”

Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up?
TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.

The privilege felt by the Pundit class is one of the political ills of this country. Kirk trafficked in white supremacism and antisemitic tropes and all manners of bigotry. Being murdered (wrong as that is) doesn't transmogrify him into a good person or erase all the indecent things he stood for.
“Kirk & I were on different sides of most political arguments. We were on the same side of the continued possibility of American politics.”
So it’s personal? B/c if you were a Black woman or transgender, Kirk would not imagine you having any role in the future of American politics.
