      He’s riddled with Confederatism.

      You spelled “He’s a Nazi” really wrong…

      There’s a whole playbook about handling this stuff and never actually admitting blame. These assholes feel no shame for what they do

    I know that this decision will upset many, and delight others, but in this political climate I must keep my family safe,” Douglass said […]

    Oh, FUCK this guy. Pretending to be the victim here and invoking his family.

    JFC.

    “I will help others in my community, be active, foster communication, and look out for others,” he said.”

    As long as they’re racially and religiously aligned with him he said with his inside voice

    This is as close as I can get to respecting one of these guys.

    Not real respect, but an appreciation that some of them still feel a sense shame.

    Maybe it isn’t exactly promising, but it is a glimmering turd in a sea of shit.

      Shame?

      “I know that this decision will upset many, and delight others, but in this political climate I must keep my family safe,” Douglass said

      He’s resigning because the left is so viowent and scawy, not because he’s ashamed. We’ll all have forgotten his name in 2 weeks and he’ll have a better job somewhere else, pulling the exact same shit.

      I wish I could feel confident that this is why, but it was probably that they were told they needed to resign or they’d be fired because their involvement is bad for business.

    "… and I know that as a young person I have a duty to set a good example for others.”

    He is in his late 20s. He is not a young person, he is an adult. He’s only young compared to our overly old representatives.

    Interesting, was waiting to hear about this one. I’m his first statement he said something like he was going to distance himself from the group - lots of folks wondered how he was going to distance himself from his wife (who also made statements in the group).
