Eh, to be a devil's advocate, people can change. It's within the realm of possibility that he wasn't like that when they were first married.
There are several medical issues like strokes and TBI that can fundamentally alter the way someone thinks. Often the people who are closest are the last to accept the change.
Eh, this kind of bullshit is Nazi apologia.
It's "within the realm of possibility" that he wasn't racist until he met her too. Refusing to accept that a Nazi is a Nazi without a tattoo on their chest and sometimes not even then is exactly how we let Nazis take over.
The social contract is that we do not tolerate intolerance. If someone is intolerant or they tolerate intolerance, they are violating the social contract.
If she’s calling for tolerance of his views (she is), or is clear that she’s tolerant of his views (again, she is), then she’s breaking the social contract.
As his wife, she would know his medical history, and would know if he underwent a personality shift. As a politician, she’s expected to represent all of her constituents and have sound judgement, especially in matters of conflicts of interest.
There’s no more story to know or no mitigating factors. Throw the baby out with the bathwater on this one.
I had a double stroke incident about half a year ago. That didn't turn me into a Nazi.
"To be devil's advocate"... fuck you for continuing to shield Nazi's for their disgusting worldviews.
Your anecdotal evidence doesn't mean anything. Just because it didn't happen to you doesn't mean it can't happen.
