It would be embarrassing for him, if he had the ability to feel shame. It's astounding that a former POTUS would act this way. But given his pedigree and the brand he's built, it's entirely consistent.
I'm still horrified that we elected this person as president.

That's the phrase I was looking for - unequal condemnation - and also the use of the "yeah, but" argument. I didn't let my kindergardeners get away with that. They had to say a fact, then they could say a feeling. And THEN they had to give their twin the same opening. My parental hand itches to set up a dope-slap line for these "adults"....
Months of rioting by BLM? There were protests in the summer of 2022, after the murder of Georgia Floyd. These were overwhelmingly peaceful; violence was perpetrated by some people, AND THAT VIOLENCE WAS CONDEMNED. The J6 coup attempt was undertaken by followers of Trump who wanted him to remain in office, and these rioters injured many, many members of law enforcement. If we’re concerned about “unequal condemnation” of violence, Republicans must condemn the attack on Mr. Pelosi.
