As for his complaints about the reactions to it: He did not just state that he favored a particular candidate. He
campaigned for him. He publicly urged people to vote for that candidate and talk everybody they know into doing the same. He just didn't tell people to wear blue socks instead of grey ones, he told them to do something that might affect their lives, the lives of their fellow countrymen and probably the lives of people in other parts of the world, too. That's not a careless decision to make. The moment you do that, you take on responsibility. If you decide to enter that minefield called politics, have the guts to deal with the consequences of your statements and actions. Expect that what you say and do will come under scrutiny and that there will be people who disagree with you.
