Sean Hannity Has Lost 11 Sponsors Since Remarks Defending Roy Moore (Update)

If people shouldn't admit culpability, state that what they said or did was wrong and apologize for what they did, that the hell is the goal of public backlash?

That's so revealing - you aren't trying to reach a common understanding or progress as a society, you're just trying to air your grievances and break shit and no amount of reparations short of a public lynching will satisfy you. I can't even say that people should be entitled to a fair trial or that I respect when an unpopular person admits that what they did was wrong without being lumped in with rapists and liars. How pathetic is it that advocating for a balanced approach to criminal justice is unpopular?

People are upset about the extremists and fundamentalists on the right taking over the country and the image of the Republican party, but the exact same thing is happening on our side of the aisle. Think about these precedents you're setting - nobody can apologize for saying something insensitive even if they didn't mean to be offensive? Nobody can say that they weren't considering the full context of their remarks when they made them? Nobody can say that they've changed their position or that they realize that they were just wrong?

I refuse to accept that this is the future of the Democratic party and of Liberalism. I refuse to see alt-Right Conservatives justified in their remarks about Liberal lynch-mobbing. The alt-Left is now an equally dangerous problem to our country as the alt-Right and we need to root this shit out now.
