This is a bs story. This was just a recounting of him getting the call for VP. It’s not a direct quote. Just how he felt, and if you’ve had kids, there are plenty of times you want to tell them to shut the hell up like that but don’t say it that way. There are reasons to not like this guy but we can be better than this rage bait bs.
For real, friends in discord were aghast at this, and I’m thinking “bro I’ve heard you tell your kids to shut the fuck up.”
Not that you should telling your kids to stfu, but yelling that from the other room when they're screaming is a bit different than saying it to their face while they're trying to share something with you.
I don't know anything about the full send podcast, if it's meant to be a serious interview, I think that's kind of a bad look on him that he'd choose to recount it with a mild profanity like hell. I curse like a sailor on my own time, but in any situation where I'm acting as a representative of my job or acting in any sort of official capacity for any organization I'm a part of, or just trying to make a good, professional impression, my speech is squeaky clean and fit to be aired on PBS kids.
Even if it's meant to be a more light-hearted and humorous podcast, there's a fine line to walk for people in the public eye and they need to be mindful of what sort of soundbites they're making that could be taken out of context. That kind of shows a little lack of forethought about what he's going to say and how it might be received by his audience, which isn't exactly a desirable quality in a politician.
Yeah... relatable internal thoughts aren't the way to take down this idiot who is taking himself down.
