Tommy Vietor

I've been listening to her pretty closely for the better part of a year.

talk about her opposition to the war in Iran, some of the things she said about the war in Venezuela, things she's been saying about Gaza.

And it strikes me as totally sincere.

And now maybe it's all a political game that is setting up a run for the presidency in 2028.

Whatever.

We'll find out.

But I was talking to Ilhan Omar a couple weeks ago.

about this and whether she had reached out to Marjorie Taylor Greene.

And it was interesting to hear Ilhan Omar, who's taken more attacks, who's been treated more viciously by MTG and a lot of Republicans, showed such grace and was like, yeah, we should give her a hug, welcome her into the coalition.

I thought it was interesting to hear that from her, that she was thinking like that.

I'd love to work out with her, maybe do a little CrossFit.

No, it's just an interesting conversation, just sort of like thinking about how Democrats offer grace, whether the amount, number of hoops we make you jump through to kind of like get to be treated as sincere versus Trump, who's like, oh, you like Trump?

Oh, you called me Hitler back in the day?

You're VP now, J.D.

Vance.

You know what I mean?

Like, oh, Bobby Kennedy, you like Trump now?

You hate these vaccines?

Fuck it.

I hate vaccines, too.
