>> But I didn't state that he himself was MAGA.
Fascinating. The great care being taken to split hairs reveals to me the intent and weakness of the argument and defense being made. I'm not convinced that the original comment was as innocent or well-intended as now being claimed. Rather, it's more likely that it was an intentional insult to claim that anyone "fits in" with MAGA. It's an attack on their character, so that's really the same thing, isn't it? The defense of such smears attempts to blur the lines between innocent critique and character assassination. It looks to me that there's some very thin ice ahead... proceed with caution.
