I have the luxury of not growing up influenced by shitty adults, so maybe it’s easy to cast judgement, but his college statement was pretty seriously racist. And it wasn’t just quietly racist, but actively sending it in to the opinion section to have it broadcast to everyone at his school. I’m willing to accept that people can grow out of racism, but I’d find it pretty reasonable for the targets of that racism to strongly object to someone who went out of their way to write a racist opinion piece in college. And like, we could just choose someone without that stain.
I don’t love that he volunteered for the IDF, but I can also acknowledge that I’m a different person than I was 20+ years ago.
I’d prefer Kelly, personally.

Whose?
??
Whose college statement are you referring to? Shapiro’s, or Kelly’s?
Shapiro’s.
He did a school project on a Kibutz doing something there. It happened to be facilitated by the IDF but I believe was arranged through his synagogue
Kelly is no better on Gaza policy
I didn’t say why I’d prefer Kelly.
Reportedly Kelly is out at this point and it’s down to Walz and Shapiro. Source: AP, CBS within the past hour.
