You know, how back in 2016, the Democrats made sure the spotlight was constantly on Trump because they just assumed everyone would see how obviously terrible he is, and that would lead to an easy victory for the Democrats, and that ended up biting them in the ass, hard.

It seems like the Republicans (and centrist Dems, tbh) are making that same mistake with Hasan. They're constantly putting the spotlight on him, with the assumption that people will see he's terrible. But this does two things:

1. Gets more attention to Hasan, makes more people see what he has to say (which is actually not even that bad)

2. Keeps their attacks off the candidates who are actually running.

However, many Democratic groups and operatives in Kaptur’s constituency refused to back down. One such woman is Arienne Childrey—an activist, transgender woman, Ohio House candidate, and vice chair of the Ohio Democratic Party’s Pride Caucus. She spoke to Erin in the Morning in her individual capacity as an advocate.

On Tuesday, Childrey said, the Lucas County Democrats posted a firm—but ultimately mild—critique of the Kaptur campaign. They did not discourage people from voting for her or call for a mass exodus from her race. They simply expressed dissatisfaction with the anti-trans rhetoric used in ads where she condemned “transgender ideology”—a nod to the far-right Christian conspiracy myth targeting the rights of trans people, gay people, and women.
