“Palestinians will not coexist peacefully,” Shapiro wrote. “They do not have the capabilities to establish their own homeland and make it successful even with the aid of Israel and the United States. They are too battle-minded to be able to establish a peaceful homeland of their own.”
Dude is just a fuckin racist. Of course he'll be the VP pick lmao.
Love the huge effort to say there's two sides on the issue with valid opinions. I'm a dick for "wanting fascism" (because pointing out liberal flaws means you support DJT) over a "disagreement on one issue"
Truly think some Nazi scale shit is going to happen in my lifetime and we will hear about how "it's complicated" and "context is important" about ongoing genocide
A more pedestrian but equally vile thing was that as AG of Pennsylvania he pressured Larry Krasner, the DA of Philly to accept a shittier settlement deal with Purdue Pharma for the opioid epidemic so he could secure his political future and become governor.
that's pretty fucked. I hate this situation so much.
I was at Tattooed Mom's when both Fetterman and Shapiro came to get the endorsement of a liberal group that met there. Forget the name of the group. Shapiro was running for AG and Fetterman was running for Senate I think. I think it was the primary where he lost and eventually became lieutenant governor. I'm a little fuzzy on the year because I was drinking heavily because of work.
Thought Fetterman was okay. He seemed to be comfortable with the place and the people. Shapiro looked like he hated every moment of existence there. Like if he could have levitated so that he didn't have to touch the floors or walls he would have done it. Fetterman got food and drinks and generally had a nice time.
Knowing what I know now....
