True.

[QueerDuck]

Endorsed, anointed, chosen, blessed, touched.

We owe it to ourselves (and our nation) to have higher standards and to not accept anyone making excuses for Nazi symbolism, or rhetoric that's anti-gay, anti-trans, misogynistic, racist, etc etc. A haphazard endorsement does not absolve. Nor does a late-in-life coverup tattoo (when the meaning was known for YEARS and YEARS prior) and when so-called apologies are the equivalent of "I'm sorry you were offended" and sound forced or coerced only because they are politically expedient.

Vetting is important.
