I legitimately believe that Hillary Clinton misspoke and said the wrong thing. I believe she’s been on our side long enough that she deserves a second chance to explain. That’s right, I said “explain.”
She needs to make her amends and explain why what she said was wrong. She needs to explain why the Reagans were not a net positive for the LGBTQ community. And I don’t object to her being grilled on it.
All politicians need to have their feet held to the fire. And I think this should be her zero hour when she gets it clear on the record, admits her mistakes, and makes her amends. Her official policies reflect an understanding we couldn’t even hope to get from the Republicans. Let’s have it out on the campaign. Let’s have her answer the hard questions. I’m for it. I don’t want to give her a pass. But I don’t want to shoot first and ask questions later.
Give her a chance. I may be falling on deaf ears, but I believe the better angels of our natures is to believe in redemption, not to judge, judge, judge. That’s the Republicans’ arena.
