NRA didn’t put out a statement supporting his second amendment rights,
Wow, the NRA missed a doozy of an opportunity there.

Not to fear. Texas’s Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick said, "“All those protesters last night, they ran the other way expecting the men and women in blue to turn around and protect them. What hypocrites!”
Being so simple-minded is obviously not a requirement for public office but unfortunately it’s also not a disqualifier.

I am sort of morbidly curious about the motivations and internal thought processes of the people who disliked the video.

“All lives matter” assholes; whether it’s overt or unconscious. A lot of those people are demanding that Vi should only be talking about mathy things and she has no place to talk about “SJW ISSUEEES!”
It reeks of what the Gamergate jackasses were clamoring about.

Because it’s not a problem for them, it must not actually be a problem at all.
The crux of it all; it’s a total lack of empathy for anyone who is different.

Ditto here, and she was already kind of pushing the needle to twelve. Brilliant woman.

Ditto in return, but “brillant person” is probably a better way to put it.

I usually say people are ‘among my favorite humans’! 
I often bring up ‘woman’ or ‘man’ for people that I notice people calling ‘girl’ or ‘boy’ (And Vi sure does have that youngish chipper voice despite being an adult and more mature than most adults I know)
It’s a similar type of nudge.

Excellent summary. Well done. (Applauding)
