He's not peddling hate or fear and its not a divisive issue so a certain sect of the country doesn't care. The lack of coverage on this topic is very telling in regards to peoples motivations in political commentary.


Could you imagine how "outraged" the entire right would be if the democrats controlled congress right now and this issue was being treated the way it is right now? People would he screaming bloody murder about how the dems hate America and its soldiers and are weak and cowards and traitors and yuge looosuhs.


It's not guns or Muslims or baby body parts or whatever else we are so supposed to be freaking out about. It's not divisive so its largly ignored.
