Look at the totality of the circumstances. Her Abbott and Crenshaw comments. Her comments about MAGA. Her complete disregard for parents' fears. Her empty apology followed by no action on her part at all. Yes, it is a matter of free speech. But speech has consequences as well.
One of the little girls who died was the granddaughter of a good friend of mine at UT. He and I played IM sports together, drank together, a great dude. The remains of his granddaughter was not found for 7 days. Can you imagine the anguish that family went through? I know I certainly can. I had a daughter who died when she was 23 years old. Having a daughter or granddaughter ripped from life leaves a huge hole.
So, while this tragedy was in its first hours and we did not truly know the extent of the devastation, to have a pediatrician post something like that, and then issue a very empty apology struck a nerve.
I have been pushing back hard against the incompetent mental health/medical providers for years. This doctor though...
And yes, there absolutely must be an investigation into this. But, it is going to be turned into a political clownshow by both parties.
Oh.. and as to the dude who made a reply to the "red, blue, or purple" remark, I an a staunch independent. Did not vote for Trump or Harris, or Biden or Hillary. I tend to vote Republican for criminal court judges and Democrat for civil court judges.
By the way, I love the cantankerous, surly assholes on here! It's the Old West of the Internet with One Flew Over the Cuckold's Nest mixed in!
