Is he black?
Because I remember Charles Barron (NYC Dem) said he’d like to go down the street and slap white people, but it was ok because (paraphrased by memory) black people just speak in hyperbole but white people are mean and really mean it.
This polite political speech is dumb. I know what Barron meant, and I know what Havesi meant. I’m not stupid enough not to understand a metaphor. The founders never meant for anyone to be afraid to speak politically.
Of course, they really DID used to shoot each other then (remember Hamilton and Burr) but that’s not the point.
