Yeah, I'm just not going to do that. You find your level and stay with it though. You absolutely did. You remind me of the woman who called the former president's wife a gorilla and then declared she wasn't a racist. If that's all it takes then no. You clearly said you didn't mean to offer disrespect and that you felt for her, as you calmly went about demonstrating the insincerity of those statements.
For those who missed her dumpster fire of a post, here's the relevant (well, to this disagreement) part:
I'd noted that the young woman who died in Charlottesville had been fearful about the rally, but she went anyway, because she thought it was important to stand up to the Nazis, and White Supremacists, etc. She went unarmed and she went to stand peacefully. Then someone ran her down and killed her for doing it.
I think what she did is brave. I think I'd be proud of her if she were my child. I said so.
See, that's trivializing.
I haven't seen any account of her holding a sign, but I'd set out pretty clearly what for. I just did it again above this.
There Tam plays the moral equivalence card. I think that's been addressed by enough people.
Then that's where the statement ends and you go another route to make any other point. But she doesn't. This is voluntary. Here comes Tam showing her "but" which is what people who don't really mean what they say do after they say what they think they have to in order to avoid looking like what they generally are.
Of course, anyone who can read understands that's not what I did.
Here comes the equivalence card again.
And that was that.
