Have you ever met someone desperately trying to convince you Lincoln was a racist who wasn't openly racist themselves? Because I sure haven't.

"I am not saying 'Jared did good, leave him alone,' I'm just saying 'Jared did good, leave him alone."

Which is stupid, because it's entirely possible to avoid convicting someone and still acknowledge that what they're accused of does, in fact, have a name.
