I’m not positive it needs to be ignored per se — but I totally see where your comment comes related to mine. I just think it should be more like, “…and in other news, Whitey McStraighterson, who said we should euthanize tacos made with tofu in last night’s debate, has this to say about inflation…”

This right here. The not lesbian and anti trans schtick speaks to the victimhood mentality in gop politics that’s trades in phobias rather than policies.

The media either hasn’t — or has — learned its lesson that covering someone nonstop as propaganda fodder highlighting their immorality is just a signal to the gop voters that this is their (usually) guy. Rather than finding their campaigns with free airtime, they’d be better off to leave off on the free advertising and exclusively cover more serious candidate positions.
