It’s rather gratifying that the Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party is now nibbling on some actual leopard faces, for a change.
Yeah, I’m listening to him saying, over and over, “It’s gone too far, this has to stop,” and wondering whether it only crossed the line when it started impacting him and his (fellow Republicans). Like, ok, the party is now a toxic monstrosity, but that’s cool and - whoa, whoa, whoa, now it’s trying to bite me, that’s not cool at all! Maybe he’s more principled than that, but I can’t help feeling that, especially after the last four years, “principled Republican” is an oxymoron.
Edit: And yeah, it turns out Sterling has spent the last 9+ years actively pushing Republican narratives about Democratic voter fraud to disenfranchise Black voters in that state. He is, indeed, the worst kind of asshole, and his bullshit is now coming back to haunt him.

(This was a famously bullshit “voter fraud case” that eventually got dropped, but only after a great deal of time, money and damaged lives, with elected Black representatives unable to take the positions they were elected to fill, and resulted in significant reduction in the activity of Black voters, who saw what happened to people who dared to organize.)
