    Dr. Biden is probably relieved for the tamales memes to replace the taco ones.

    I think it's very kind of you to mansplain the First Amendment to the people on this forum who actually practice law. :emoji_joy:

    I'm not referring to criminal infraction. I believe that if this were a workplace scenario, that the man could be accused of SH and subject to reprimand or worse. This is obviously not a mutual workplace, but the reason I believe it's relevant is that his behavior likely constitutes SH.

    Does anybody know the specific nature of AOC's support of harassment? I'm guessing a tweet?
    I didn't comment on the Kavanaugh incident, as I didn't know the specifics. Was there video? One or more sources seemed to indicate that Kavanaugh did not see or hear the protesters.

    Anyone who uses the term "mansplain" unironically is not a serious person.

    Agree with the final sentence, but were the protesters inside the restaurant? Did they actually harass Kavanaugh?

    Who is mad? I am just tired of people posting ridiculous false equivalencies.

    According to Morton's yes.

    Also my point was aimed at how AOC perceives things. People are saying Kavanaugh needed to see the harassment for it to exist, while AOC claimed life endangerment from a totally different building on 1/6 where no threat actually existed.

    Perception.

    But I am going on what Morton's representatives chose to call it from the scene.

    Buuuut... What if a woman identifying as a man is explaining it to a man that identifies as a woman?

    Apparently, we have to let morons feel they have equivalent footing in the public sphere now.

    It's just another strawman. Arguing against a position that no one is making.
