Let’s pan back a bit. The VP said a 25-year-old who tweeted racist shit 2 months ago should have access to everyone’s financial, medical, and other info — so he can fire people trying to fight racism. And when a congressman said the kid should at least apologize first, the VP told him to “grow up.”
