Glenn Greenwald

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.

There have been a lot of people who have been attacked for other kinds of views for wearing.

And I think we need to get back to the spirit that like part of what is America, like part of what we love about it is that if you're a private citizen, you can express whatever views you want and you don't lose your job over it.

You don't get publicly attacked for it.

You know, that behavior needs to be scorned.

And it was scorned in this case.

And the cherry on top is that that woman who displayed so much moral kindness and generosity of spirit got a just reward.

Like it's so rare to have karmic justice like that on every aspect of the story.
