While race certainly played a part with the reaction to Kaepernick, that doesn't mean this guy got a free pass for being white. Conservatives would have defended someone of any race who spouted misogynist word vomit.

Good point.

I mean, conservatives defend the murderer Kyle Rittenhouse.

They defend him because they like the idea of shooting liberal protesters in the street. "Murderer" is not a mark of shame to them.

That's because for Conservatives you're allowed to take lives to protect property. You are not allowed to damage property to protect lives.

Really shows where their values are.

I do love how they defend him in part by saying he killed a convicted sex offender as if he could have possibly known that and as if that were his (or anyone's) job to do.
