Sorry bro I don't wanna do all the lifting for you. You can find plenty of clips of him saying it in other debates and so on if you like. I don't have sources at my fingertips.
He also said multiple times that he thinks we should have public executions. Call it fake news. Call it out of context. I don't give a shit. I won't be convinced that he wasn't anything but a reprehensible person. I do not think he deserved to die, though. I just simply do not care.
He said that the word empathy was essentially a fake term used by politicians and he didnt like it, he perferred sympathy. (your source) but said "its a dicussion for another time"
That opinion made him reprehensible?
or was it other things he said? Maybe doing the same thing we just did with the "empathy" example on his other views could be beneficial. You might find that what he actually said does not match what you heard he said, according to your sources. (ie: fake news, friends, lunatics, 5 second clips etc)
Perhaps taking this as a lesson, will shape your views and how you gather info in the future. Perhaps take your fake news in very, very moderate doses with a grain of salt.
Because you posted this quote like he didnt believe in or have any "Empathy". But taking 2 minutes to find out what was actually said, one would think this person just has a simple opinion. it doesnt make them "REPREHENSIBLE"... Maybe his other opinions are just his views, maybe you have some common ground. maybe not so much.
But reprehensible? This digestion of fake news and spread of it, is a huge problem in this country. Try to understand that.
AND TO BE CLEAR. IF someone actually says something but it is taken out of context (empathy example). It is STILL FAKE NEWS. Understand this.
You are not doing ANY lifting, you are doing the minimal amount of "lifting" by just pushing fake news.
