re: #678 Belafon

He has no control over the monster he created.

He never wanted to or really tried to control it. He put out a perfunctory email telling them not to disrupt from the floor and made some pro forma noises designed to cover his ass in case Trump wins but he really hasn’t done nearly enough to undo his wonton level of reckless behavior and damage during the primary. He was addicted to the cult like atmosphere and the adoration of his followers, but did nothing to truly educate them along the way about civic responsibility and how rational adults are expected to navigate this messy, complicated, nuanced reality we’re immersed in.
