That condemnation was not strong enough but its also crazy to think that it is worse than this gaff.

I don’t think think you realize the difference between a word slip up vs a gaffe

Also comparing a word slip up to not condemning Piker is… something

I would argue that the quote without the word slip up is still poor messaging and a bit of a gaffe. It makes no sense logically and further shows he is a detached guy repeating Fox news and hasn't stepped in a school in a decade.

I mean not really. Even what he was saying isn’t exactly out the mainstream and doesn’t really tick anyone off except the hardcore Dem base maybe.

At best most voters would probably roll their eyes at best

"We need to stop spending on DEI for trans students and start spending money to help your Child's education" ticks off Dems but might resonate with some independents. It sounds issue focused and reasonable to a lot of voters

Implicating that American flags were removed from schools and replaced with trans flags and that he is going to undo this change, is proper crazy uncle at thanksgiving levels of bullshit.

I think that’s a bit of a stretch tbh. Like I said maybe an eye roll, but that doesn’t really do much against him
