They should have pulled him when we found out he had a nazi tattoo for two decades.

Three things are true:

1. He has aspects of his past that he needs to confront directly.

2. He seemed to be sincerely evolved from majority of any demonstrated bad behaviors, most of which are unfortunately more typical from a male in the US that doesn't grow up with privilege and ends up in the military - an organization that, by design, breaks people and then reshapes them into the same well-conforming hate machine (a hate pointed outward initially, that inevitably points more and more inward).

3. His public takedown was a carefully engineered and intentional effort by the establishment right or left or both in concert.

4. Mitch McConnell died last Thursday after a long and ultimately successful effort to disassemble American democracy.

Oh... Four things actually.
