Yeah, like when Politico recently pointed out the FDA was told about infected baby formula months before several babies were killed by it.

Obviously Politico is just gathering their mooks to subject the poor gentle souls of Abbott and the FDA to abuse.

We can't disclose wrongdoing - think of the mean things people might say.

This is missing the point so badly it seems almost intentional. Public outcry at the actions of the government is entirely different from incited bullying of individuals with no public presence.
She has a pretty big public presence. She was on the Joe Rogan podcast with Jack. Calling someone out for being terrible never seemed to bother anyone until apparently 5 seconds ago.
Huh? Punching down has never been considered classy.
"incited bullying of individuals with no public presence"

Elon Musk never even mentioned her - he simply referred to Twitter's actions as "obviously incredibly inappropriate" and linked to an article that happened to mention her.

You can't be serious. This person is literally responsible for burying the Hunter Biden laptop story and is personally responsible for banning Trump. That's a public position whether you like it or not. I don't think anyone would think we can stop criticizing Putin the moment he exits office.

Imagine if Jack Dorsey ran Twitter without a Twitter account. That would not negate your ability to criticize his leadership even if he never spoke.
