@eARCwelder i’m predisposed not to be enthusiastic for Shapiro, for his general ostentatious centrism and his less measured support of Israel / opposition to protests. all of that strikes me as within the bounds of ordinary political tussle, however. 1/

@eARCwelder but some of the allegations coming from his time as AG strike me as hard to deal with. on the one hand they smell like the sleaziest sort of oppo, on the other an almost perfect conspiracy/distraction unless they can be definitively debunked very quickly and certainly. /fin
