I think this is a slight over exaggeration. Trump is an example where he seems to gain strength the more outrageous he is. Cops don’t have careers ruined by protests. Sarah Sanders lied repeatedly as does Kelly Anne Conway. Some celebrities have criminal complaints etc... the only real issue is that the left like to fall on their swords.. this is probably to set an example of doing the right thing but it’s probably short sighted.. so history will see how that plays out...
