The thing is, it’s just a right wing news network. Nobody would have said anything if he had a shirt with The Young Turks logo.
People are making it out like he had a Stormfront shirt on.
The whole thing is ridiculous.
Well, this "movement" hates America- so it would make sense that a pro-American news service triggers the shite out of them.
They probably even hate the name "One America News"...It's just too reminiscent of unity- and that's not what they want.

I guess my point is - do you think there are influential GOP elected officials saying and doing the right-wing equivalents of what Omar, De Blasio, Durkan, etc. are doing?
I don't because I lean more right, so their views are farther away than mine than what somewhat that leans left may believe of one of the more far right politicians, if that makes sense
I realize this seems like I'm dancing around your questions, but I'm just trying to give perspective, I guess

It's beyond time to tell people like Chuba to STFU and get over themselves. Shame Gundy couldn't do it

I get it
Trying to be as objective as possible, I'd argue an "American liberal" response to a hard stance on immigration enforcement is DACA or pathway to citizenship or the like.
Amnesty even.
I think open borders or sanctuary cities or the take that enforcement of the law is cruel is an outlier view in reality. So when media feeds us sanctuary cities vs. the wall, I think it's a skewed proposition in favor of sanctuary cities aka a fringe leftist position. It's reframing the argument far to the left, such that the midpoint becomes a traditional American-left position (like DACA or amnesty, etc.)

Likewise. I feel ostracized from both sides because the loudest voices and those that dominate the headlines are the ones that are the fringe for each side.
This is definitely true to an extent, as there are some on both sides that shout you down for dissenting opinions, but that’s more of a people problem as opposed to an inherent trait of both sides. Both sides have echo chambers, so it’s very easy to fall into this trap.
However, my main problem arises from the character assassination that’s been going on. The (loud and dominating minority as you’ve described) left is trying to get people fired from their jobs, or expelled from school, or some other “cancellation” as others have put it. They even do it to people on their own side, which others rightly call cannibalization.
At least if I profess a left-leaning view, like Black Lives Matter, I won’t get my livelihood attacked from others on the right; while an opposing right-leaning view, such as Blue Lives Matter, and I’ll have people calling up my manager. I mean, yeah, places like this board would call me a dumbass for saying I agree with BLM wholeheartedly, but that’d be the end of it.
At least, that’s my experience.

I can't help but laugh at how hilariously weak and feckless you conservatives are. Now you're apologizing for wearing a TV shirt with a news logo on it. You do an about face at the first sign of discomfort.
