Perfectly appropriate reaction. If anything, the press secretary should not have been allowed to resign but been fired for cause. Totally unacceptable behavior from someone a government spokesperson. Also not at all the same thing as, say, Nessus making a social media post saying "TERFS make me want to punch them in the throat sometimes."
And what I said wasn't "whataboutism" We all know that you don't care about stuff coming from your side. We all know you don't care about any kind of risk to injury or death (threats to property are of course something else entirely for you, THOSE you care deeply about). The ONLY thing you care about is whether they're a political opponent of yours or not. You'd be cheering if MTG posted that with "transphones" replaced by "trans-activists" Or really any kind of "activist" Judicial activist, labor activist, environmental activist. Or, you know,
health officials and volunteers . . And are you going to sit here and pretend you don't literally think of that image or its ilk when someone mentions "gun control"?

Of course you're not worried about it. Because you'll never ever do it.
