And relatedly, nothing is done to the little Castro brother for his trump doxxing. Not by twitter, and the silence on the left on this is deafening.

Actually Castro's actions really tend to make a great case against campaign disclosure laws. The laws are meant to shine a light into undue influence. Leave it to the progs to use that information not as a 'keep the process clean', but instead to uses and weaponize it.

And neither Castro brother has any remorse over it. They have doubled down on the action. And no notable progressive politician has denoted or called them out for the obvious weaponization. Yay!

I said this before, and was rebuked for it, so I will say it again. The Castro brothers are no more than two fing bit shakedown artists.

Doxxing? The info he provided is publicly available... Scalia made a great point about how this is anything but doxxing, and public disclosure is paramount. Regarding anonymous petitions:

“Requiring people to stand up in public for their political acts fosters civic courage, without which democracy is doomed.”

How can pointing out whom donated to whom be weaponizing that information? If you can’t stand to publicly state that you financially supported candidate A, how about you don’t do that? Providing more information about who the owner of a store supports provides consumers with more information for them to use when deciding what services to use.

I just hope some deranged leftist doesn't use this information to gun down a couple of these people with his assault rifle.

Legal or not, it does put people at risk.

It is not just that he put names out. Didn't he also accuse them of fueling a campaign of hate against Hispanics?

Do you not see a difference between:

(a)RiceLad lives at 1234 Liberal Way and gave $50 to Jane Austen

and,

(b)RiceLad lives at 1234 Liberal Way and is fueling racism against Hispanics.

If you stretch real hard to preserve the double standard, you can say you see no difference.

Don't forget, he also gave employers. So if a deranged leftist goes into a workplace to kill a donor and ends up killing ten people, no harm?

You and the Castro bros better keep your fingers crossed.
