My point on the tweet is not to minimize.

My point is what is more important in the macro: what he says or what he does?

He’s a flawed, complicated individual.

It’s not that complicated. Call out bad behavior in real-time. Stop excusing entertainers, businessmen & politicians who demonstrate terrible behavior.  Don’t elevate bad behavior just because it comes with humanity saving technology or claims of making someplace great again.

What the good deeds, though? Do they not count?

The good deeds count.  They are already showered with accolades and tax breaks for those.  But we are all the sum of our actions.  It says a lot when folks ignore the bad and only celebrate the good.

> They are already showered with accolades and tax breaks for those.

I guess we read different media.

I noticed a stark change in coverage after Pedogate.  I call that accountability.

It's mostly politics.
