At least this one got caught

When Donald Trump was elected president, I feared that people who voted for him may be just like him.

I further feared that these folks were also probably all around me, just not easily identifiable.

So now we have Dathan Paterno, formerly a member of the Park Ridge-Niles Elementary School District 64 board and a psychologist in Park Ridge, a person whom I would assume to be an upstanding citizen.

Whatever possessed him to go on a Twitter rant about the Women's March on Jan. 21?

He said, "While I merely meant to harshly criticize some of the protesters (especially the very angry, hostile, vulgar and violent ones) and question the motives of some of them, my tweets were understandably misinterpreted to mean that I disrespect or hate all the protesters."

There were no very angry, hostile, vulgar or violent women at the Chicago march, or any other march that I am aware of. None.

And why does he (and Trump) assume that women who were at the marches didn't vote?

Nicely done, Dathan Paterno. Tweet out some angry anti-female messages, then later claim they were "misinterpreted." President Trump does it, why not everyone else?

I now have my proof that these folks are among us. I'm glad this one got caught. Who's next?
