So imagine going around and saying, no, I don't want her fired just because she did that to me.
That already is such an admirable person.
Like how many of us would react that way?
As you said, like you're kind of a hothead.
I don't know at all that that would be my reaction, but I respect it and admire it so much.
But I also think there's like this generational thing, which is like,
I don't mind that people dislike Charlie Kirk's ideology.
He was a very political person.
He had very strong political views.
People disagreed with it.
That's totally fine.
The idea though, that like we now attack each other, like not politicians, right?
Like you can yell at politicians for the, you go into a target and see some like older woman working because she has to at a very difficult job standing on her feet all day.
And you're going to berate her and attack her and film it and put it on the internet.
Like you've done something noble.
That to me signifies like this very rotted spirit that has entered our discourse based on the idea that anyone who has different political views than us is an evil person who should suffer in every single way.
And the fact that you have this one woman who's supposedly the villain because she's wearing a t-shirt of a racist evil person.
Being so clearly the better person while you have this other woman so self-righteous, thinking she's so moral, acting in a way that no matter your ideology is so revolting.
I think there's a lot of lessons in there that I hope people take away who are like Michaela, but I doubt will.
It does happen on both sides.
