You are right. It is insane. Humanity has been lost in US politics, and if there was ever a neon billboard spelling it out, this is it.

The poor guy suffered a life-threatening and life changing health crisis. He had very little time to cope with the situation and process. He was very publicly mocked for his health situation, for needing accommodations, and for other things like he can not control like his looks. Now, his wife is being made out to be this heartless wench for helping their children cope. She has one loved one in crisis and is trying to protect the rest of the family.

Maybe he can continue his career with the right skills and support, but it shouldn't surprise anyone if he makes the decision to step away. I really hope he does. He and his family deserve peace.
