David Shuster sees the Trump-Patel boys' locker room stunt as a revelation of an ethical cancer inside the Trump regime:
"Kash Patel behaved like a rowdy, self absorbed teenager living out a sports and alcohol drenched fantasy experience.
Patel didn’t deserve to be part of the U.S. locker room celebration."

"And he took what might have been an inspiring, bipartisan national story about a remarkable U.S. hockey triumph over Canada and diminished it.
The U.S. hockey team earned their gold medals.
FBI Director Kash Patel has earned nothing but contempt."
This was choreographed, of course, to appeal to the coterie of young men who voted for Trump, and who, in some sectors, now questioning their vote. Misogyny = glue.

"No one expected any better from the president: Trump is an adjudicated rapist and serial misogynist who demeans women as easily as he breathes. But there are too many men who know better, yet laugh along with men like the president anyway."

"Publicly supporting women is nice, but what really matters is what men do behind closed doors. What matters is how they hold each other accountable.
The men’s hockey team shouldn’t get a pass because they were in the locker room—that’s where women need their support the most."

"It’s those around him laughing or staying silent that is infuriating — the casual go along to get along, the bro code of a laugh.
Perhaps the locker-room moment wouldn’t have been such a big deal if it hadn’t happened as revelations about the ways in which rich and powerful people worked with Epstein, participated in his sex trafficking ring, or looked away."
