Why is there so much hate for the Castro twins?

While I wouldn't have posted this for obvious reasons the idea, that someone mired in political hate enough to attack someone for donating to a politician they don't like, would get this information from a tweet and isn't going to find it themselves is preposterous. Hence I see no basis to claim it's intimidation. It's childish shaming at best, and as someone like Castro who honestly think Trump is openly calling his supporters to kill Latinos or dog-whistling as hard as possible for them to do so, this is a mild response. Especially in an area like San Antonio which is 50%+ Latino, i'm surprised someone who thinks like Castro didn't call for people to run these racists out of San Antonio.

I don't like Trump but don't believe he's as bad as many of my fellow democrats.

It's voter suppression, plain and simple.

How? So do you think someone who hates the President and his supporters enough to attack them, is waiting on Castro to publicly drop information on his biggest donors. How, if someone dropped a list of Obama donors and it's a Republican I wouldn't call it voter suppression, because people shouldn't be embarrassed by their vote/who they donate too. If it irks you that much then you probably shouldn't be voting for that person. If you believe you did nothing morally reprehensible then your fine.

With all the attacks from nutjobs, and I'm sorry to say the majority of those triggered are liberals, you don't think this was irresponsible, NN?
