The optics of this are incredibly bad. That being said, if someone captured a snippet of a text that I had when I was 20 years old, they may have been able to make me look really bad under certain circumstances. I really am not sure what his intention was and whether it was a joke or not. It was in bad taste, that we cannot argue, but I’m not sure that this isn’t just someone seeking fame and looking to ruin someone else’s career and, quite possibly, life.
