Critical support to him in exposing the empire's lies. At a time like this I think his role in providing an anti-empire view is far more important than his problems.

Yes, he is problematic to put it mildly as he has patronized prostitutes in Germany and bragged about it. Being proud of r*pe is not a good look but I'd certainly rather he be popular and young people flock to him and his views than any other mainstream view on offer in the US. He is unambiguously a net good at present despite his problematic attitude towards sexual exploitation of women, his ambiguous views towards China, the fact he's not an ML, etc.

So now is not the time I think to attack him as he's on the right side of these issues at least usually.
