Even if it weren’t a mental gymnastic stretch, even if there was reason to give the benefit of the doubt, even if you were to assume that it was “autism” or whatever, it’s still problematic whenever someone in a presidential cabinet or the president himself does something stupid enough to be easily misconstrued as offensive. We don’t want someone who’s too stupid with gestures regardless of their political leanings. Either way, it was problematic.
I guarantee if this was something Biden did, right-wingers would’ve been up in arms about it and even people on the left still considered it a problem whenever he slurred his speech no matter what the reason was.
We would’ve been pissed if a democratic cabinet member did this. We don’t make excuses because we don’t fuckin’ worship them the way right-wingers worship their golden calf.
