A Casualty in the Culture War

A gentlemen who sent an unfortunate tweet during President Trump's speech has endured a lot of social condemnation, ostracism and now job loss:

A former Hillary Clinton volunteer drew swift condemnation -- and lost his job -- after mocking the widow of a fallen Navy SEAL who was honored by the president during his congressional address Tuesday night.
Dan Grilo, who said in his Twitter profile that he was a former volunteer for both Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama, made the remarks after Trump paid tribute to Carryn Owens. She is the widow of U.S. Navy SEAL William “Ryan” Owens, who was killed in a counterterrorism raid in Yemen last month.

The man in question was not even a party flunky but a campaign volunteer who seems to opine a lot on political issues. He felt that Sgt. Owen's wife was being used as a prop and said so.

I'm reminded of the Chick-Fil-A guy who lost his job after posting a video of himself harassing a Chick-fil-A employee at the drive thru:

Mr. Smith's transgression was a whole lot worse. Here we have part of the elite, the credentialed class harassing an hourly worker because he doesn't like her employer's policy on gay marriage or, something. It's hard to keep track of lefty priorities.

I hate these social lynch mobs. Of course the 20th Air Force hated firebombing Japanese cities but it had to be done.

Maybe when it happens to them enough the left will stop and we can all be rational again.

Until then its scorched earth.

Your rules Saul, your rules.
