Her response: "I find it really shameful that there’s a group of media outlets and people who are willing to spread gossip,” she said in the informal, selfie-style video where she paced along a road. “No marriage is perfect, and I don’t want a perfect marriage, I want my marriage.”



I don’t really know how you think that supports your argument? That is kinda my fear with Platner, that his service will not be true to his words, and he will fail to live up to his commitments.
That is unless that MLK quote was aimed at me? In that case… I’m not white, and I’m not a liberal.
In this metaphor the white liberal is someone who supports progressive values in theory, but when it comes time to make the change they get cold feet in favor of the status quo.
You don’t have to be white to be a white liberal. You just have to keep using disingenuous cable news talking points.
Again… This is my fear about Platner. I would love to be wrong about it. I just don’t see any evidence in his background that assuages my fears.
What cable news is talking about his class history and his voluntary service to maintain the hegemony?
