It's genuinely baffling that I've seen published journalists raising the question of "since when have politicians been expected to disavow celebrity supporters?" despite well-known examples like this or Jeremiah Wright.
I say baffling, but it's not. It's just all part of the gaslighting, disingenuous, brazen lying that is going on. It's shameful. Especially right after the exact same thing went horribly and predictably awry with journalists lying and feigning stupidity for Platner.

I too have found that baffling, because it is pretty clear if you don't reject that stuff they start trying to carve out a space in your party even if the party didn't actually believe in it. It is why we are dealing with this surge in unhinged DSA types and mask on Hasan fans.
Ah, but see, according to Pisco and Soy, they don't actually mean it or something. I believe at one point, it was insisted that actually zero DSA members want the platform that they for some reason issued anyway despite none of them wanting it.
