Who knows. The people who love building the outrage look for any news story and then they start spinning it to make it a hundred times worse. Yeah, absolutely, politicians aren't helping. The GOP's modern thing of "we will vote against anything the Democrats do, regardless of what it is", and the Democrats starting to fall into the same just makes a perfect situation for mud-slinging instead of actually governing.

There was actually an exchange just the other day that was absolutely disgraceful. When a politician has to start kicking someone's physical appearance, it speaks volumes about who we have elected into office and also us as electors.
