“Trained performer” is obviously a complement in this instance. He’s a professional who is good at his job!

If you replaced Zohran with a random software developer off the street and gave him the same policies, would he be as successful?

Hell no! He has supporters because he’s an expert at talking to his audience. And that’s not a knock on him, that’s like a huge part of being a politician!

Ok I know you said not to get you started, but I’m actually really curious about your opinion on this!

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class.

This is Kirk's legacy.

You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

Remember when Biden was working on National Plan to End Parkinson's bill, and was consulting with experts, and NYT ran this hit piece?
