Also it wasn't a "unity gesture". It was a funny moment for the people in the room and/or was intended to make the Trump convert more comfortable.

Either way, it was absolutely fine in context. The only concern is how it could be taken out of context, and fuck that. I'm tired of walking a tightrope worrying about what Fox News might say.

If it was a "unity gesture", it was for that one guy. It wasn't for the Fox News audience.

"I’m tired of walking a tightrope worrying about what Fox News might say."

I'm going to give you some advice that my great aunt Edna gave me 35 years ago, when I went to my first day at kindergarten, and the other kids made fun of me.

"Fuck 'em! Fuck the whole lot! Who gives a shit what they say? They probably poop the bed everynight!"

You'd be surprised how often that advice applies to current situations.
