Warning: This opinion piece addresses hateful, often profane Twitter posts. It is impossible to discuss this rhetoric properly without presenting some posts in full. Reader discretion is advised.

If a friend of yours used the words “faggot” and “faggots” more than a hundred times in his Twitter feed, would you embrace him in a joint Instagram video? Probably not. But then again, you are not Terry McAuliffe.
