That's true regardless, but when they say "Look how absurd the left is being," it's better when they don't have examples like this to point at.

The Internet is a big place. They will always find an extreme example for whatever they want, and if they can’t find one, some right wing grifter will make one up for them. I understand the concept of taking the highroad and all of that, and I generally do, but it is not her kid’s birthday and it is not some huge political step to go “that is not how birthdays work.” You’re acting like he called her a dumb c***.
