I agree with you on principle, but I do wonder where is the outrage at the obscene waste and fraud Trump is singularly responsible for? 400K raises some eyebrows, sure. 400 million, not a peep from these same people. The issue here is that its fake outrage. Its performative, when people are pretending to be upset about Walz needing 400K. Mustering a valid defense, as you have, is a waste of time because these people dont actually care about the minutiae or details. They need a cheap reason to hate on the left and ignore when the right does it literally 100 times worse with no good explanation whatsoever.
