Marko made some unwise social media comments, and I certainly don't agree with them. However, young people make mistakes, so, forgive, and let him continue his epochal work!

[HIDEK6]

… especially if his nickname is BIG BALLS!

[desertsolitaire]

I believe Americans to be a very generous and forgiving people. We need to pause on cancel culture and work on bringing our country back to a better place.

[PAR35]

If he’s doing good work, we probably should let it slide that he supports the historical views of Planned Parenthood.

[ClearCase_guy]

Anything that someone may have done which is deemed “offensive”, should be shrugged off at this point. No one really cares.

[stylin19a]

Reports were he resigned....Did someone really fire him ? If so, fire that guy\gal...

[MNJohnnie]

Proof of this claim? The report was he had “links to a website that has such posts”.

Now I know everyone at Free Republic is pure as the wind driven snow but I am pretty sure very few 16-30 year old could stand up close scrutiny of every website they ever been too.

[God luvs America]

anyone know what this “racist” post was exactly?

[UCANSEE2]

And did it involve two bears ?

[jimfree]

Expressing personal preferences and ethnic pride. Hmmmm. Why isn’t that illegal for leftists?

[Da Coyote]

A prime rule of the multiverse is that when the left uses the term “racist”, they are lying out their Dorkbamahole.

[DesertRhino]

Hell yes! Take away the left main weapon. Their only play left in the playbook is to do a deep dive into someone’s past, and look for something not 100% woke. Then they smear them. They do this as a subterfuge to hamstring their legitimate work.
Trump just took away their most powerful weapon over the last decade.

[griswold3]

The key to offering forgiveness is admission of guilt. I would appreciate an acknowledgment of error. ( I assume the character comes from a “caste” system)

[Captain Peter Blood]

If this is the 19 year old kid, then cut him some slack, I am sure Elon had a long talk with him. Probably some kid who could hack into the Pentagon with a basic Dell Laptop computer.

[DesertRhino]

He wants the H1B Indians gone and said he would never marry into that culture.

[bray]

Thought we were through with Woke speak?

[kiryandil]

"Who Let The DOGE Out?"

[A_perfect_lady]

He wants the H1B Indians gone and said he would never marry into that culture.

That shouldn't cost anyone their job.

[metmom]

Dems want a pass for evrything they ever did, but demand sinless perfection from everyone else.

The consummate hypocrites.

Jesus Himself wouldn’t be good enough for them.

[AndyJackson]

Good grief. I suppose any thoughts on the “new Irish” would be racist and islamophobic as well.
