      The question was about Hakeem making a divisive statement and OP sharing the reporting on it. Reporting on what someone else says is not an additional divisive statement, and downvoting the post for being divisive is just shooting the messenger. That’s the point I was making, you lecture the people informing others about what Hakeem said to stop being divisive when it’s Hakeem who made the divisive statement and should be lectured. It’s the same logical error a lot of liberals make when they blame voters for election losses instead of the candidates for failing to inspire people’s vote.
