He’s not really defending a user, IMO, since I didn’t attack them. Not here on the stream, and not in public ever to the best of my recollection. And I’d have no reason to now, as the account is now deleted.
(Without getting into the weeds, Tl;dr I had questions about one account in a series of accounts that purported to be “comeback accounts” of a good friend of mine. I co-modded and owned some streams he founded with his first account so I viewed it as my duty to try to suss out if these others were real. Some of the personalities of the “comeback accounts” didn’t match, so I had suspicions. That user was also trolled and harassed by others on Imgflip, and I feared he might be being impersonated by these comeback alts.)
Returning to PRESIDENTS — Andrew’s comment is instead part of a narrative he’s pushing to try to distinguish Pepe Party from RUP Party as you’ll see from his other recent comments. It constitutes campaigning on that basis.
So, I respect your decision and will lobby hard to overturn it. :)
