17. I completely agree and think it was planned from the beginning.

Platner might have just been an useful idiot to the other, "right wing" side. I am disgusted these things keep happening. I didn't like Eric Swalwell's tone in the 2020 presidential debate against Joe Biden. He dropped out shortly there after. He was a good representative, but none of us knew in California really knew about him. It was a shock to me, I thought he was just a little cocky. The media is to blame. There are no journalists doing the real work and checking people out to see who they really are and reporting news in real time. And if they do find out stuff, they write a book two years later.
