I didn't exactly claim that he said something objectionable. I did accuse him of broadcasting white supremacist tendencies by his follows. You're free to interpret the significance of these follows differently. I personally would be uncomfortable following accounts that retweet and tweet clearly racist statements. You can go to @empthyhaver for examples literally from the last couple of days.

Simply following someone doesn't count as "broadcasting". If you don't like things being recommended by the Twitter algorithm, just use the "following" tab. If you don't, that's on you.

What does it count as to follow a bunch of racist tweeters? Are you saying it's not indicative of anything?
