That's just what you've observed since you got here, Steven. You will unfortunately see that every time he makes news he's attacked for some angle of it, or if there's nothing substantive to criticize it reverts to him not having the right to be a part of our party and being an old Jewish white man who's only out for his ego, and the posters are accused of baiting that reaction.

Unity may be important to the party leadership, but some don't see it as important at all. Sad.
