8. They've been met by racism and homophobia for it. They didn't apologize.

They just said they'd reword it better next time.

People have been going after Yang's Asianess and making homophobic remarks at both of them.

All for saying a common sense remark - that Crockett isn't likely to win statewide in Texas.

The regularly-scheduled eating of one's own in the name of dumb. The racism and homophobia from people who claim a progressive mantle is just the usual usual.

I applaud them for not subjugating themselves to the bored Internet social media mob.
