  1. I think the Schultz tweet, read out of context, could be seen as offensive. It was not the best way to word it and I can understand the confusion. That being said I think it is more likely that people intentionally took it out of context to make it seem bad. On the other issue, I don’t care if Representative Garcia ate his own earwax or not, and I liked his response to the silly issue.
