And I'm not severely skeptical.

I was asking questions because I knew FA about the situation.

Was trying to piece together why it could possibly be such a horrible thing to defend yourself (and/or your party) against charges of anti-semitism ... cause it came off like the guy is being cancelled for not apologizing for his own defense.

Seemed pretty overboard afa a reaction goes.

Thanks for the addt'l facts
