Seriously? I'm going to consign that remark to the attorney merely doing his job.
Yes! If one who would be a leader of others having unpopular political beliefs such as one does and that one is of a mind to with them express, both having and expressing it may have consequences and facing them is among the forms of courage one must have. Sometimes the consequences include being "hounded out of your apartment [or]...job." In other instances, that out of which one may be "hounded" is more of the "whatever" genre.
Ask the Kennedys, Kings, Evers, Tills, Milks, countless men and women, along with all the American leaders who had the "audacity" to unpopularly believe was that a whole host of classes of folks should be treated in the same manners as (apparently) heterosexual white males and, in turn, express their unpopular belief by leading efforts to thus aid those classes of individuals in obtaining such treatment and consideration....Ask the families and friends of the ones who are now dead for having their unpopular beliefs and airing them.
Did those leaders know the risks they were assuming by expressing their unpopular beliefs? Goddamned right they did. White nationalists have exactly the same ability to express themselves, and fittingly, they must face the same risks. So, yes, "Ms. Doe," upon having her identity and role as a leader of a white supremacists' event revealed, may like so many before her have to bear the same risks as any other social leader.
One of those risks is the manifested disapprobation of other citizens who don't share her view. One'd hope that no physical harm befall "Ms. Doe" as it did the likes of
Moore, Milk, King, and Kennedy. Lesser consequences are, however, just part of the game. Eggs and cake, you know...
In a word, I was too cowardly to do what I knew to be right, as I had been too cowardly to avoid doing what I knew to be wrong.
