I think it’s a good statement, short and to the point. The replies are absolute poison though, hasbara bots really honing in on them. Feds will try and make something stick but it doesn’t sound like he was even a member.

I'll note that the bill has yet to pass the Senate. If you're an American, call your Senators and ask them to vote against it.
