Could be lip service; like a superficial gesture to retain some basic standing in the political sphere. Idk why this should be a big deal to anyone.

I prefer her compassion for a political rival to this shit:
“Not a smart person, but a somewhat vicious person, I will say. If you feel sorry for him, don't feel so sorry, because he's vicious."
What the hell is wrong with sending condolences to a colleagues family? Looks like the bots won if people are posting heinous bullshit like this and getting all stirred up. Well done little bots!
This is a wild thread. Kamala understands decorum and professionalism.
Politics without is just a fuckin' schoolyard fistfight, and we've had too much of that.
Democracy is about being able to have differences in opinion but still be neighbors.
I’m probably the minority here, but I appreciate the decorum. It lowers the temperature of the conversation without outright endorsing what he did.
For me, the time to be angry was when it was happening.
It should be normal to pay tribute to the dead, even if you didn’t agree with them when they were alive. If we stop doing that, we all lose.
