    Eh. Maybe she’s just trying to keep the peace. From what I understand she’s had some success in keeping anti trans legislation at bay in her jurisdiction. It could be she feels that making a stink over Charlie now would make things worse.

    Not that I agree, it just must be tough being an openly trans public figure. Right hates her no matter what, left expects perfection since she’s so visible. Hard to criticize her over this

          No, because the definition of a hero involves not being part of the cynical political class.

          Heroes must emerge from the working class

        No, but it could keep her fighting for her constituents and their rights a little longer. They might just be being careful with what battles they pick. We all know trump would have ordered a national day of honor even if it didn’t get a single vote.
