Is Platner part of the hit piece when he admits to bad behavior? You either care about racism, sexism, homophobia, mistreating women or you don't. We mocked the MAGA cult for defending Trump no matter what and then some act just like them. I guess Platner could shoot someone and not lose a single supporter.
