lol... If you go on Reddit and search for him, you'll find dozens of posts defending his past history on Reddit. Or why his past shouldn't be held against him.
Are you trying to defend this guy by playing dumb and not knowing how Google or Reddit works?
It says a lot that establishment Democrats are attacking him as well. All the "Lefty" outlets are coming at him... The Hill, CNN, Politico.
One day, they're calling him a Communist. The next, they're calling him a Nazi. They really can't make up their minds.
Does it suck that he got that tattoo? Yes. Did he make some unfortunate reddit comments 5+ years ago? Yes. Do I wish that he had longer to cook and be involved in the community as an activist before running for Senate? Yes.
But he's the best candidate running. And he's an actual messy real person, not a focus group-tested, consultant-approved commodity who is just a lawyer trying to advance his career and collect as much lobbyist money and bribes as possible. That's why the corporate Dems are backing Janet Mills. He currently is beating her 2:1 in polls.
They always ask, "Is he someone you'd want to have a beer with?" and absolutely he is.
