Wasn't Don Lemon also sayig something about them denying him the right to turn himself in?
Civil rights lawyer Nekima Levy Armstrong's latest brief reveals the backstory of her arrest in a footnote. Feds refused to let her self-surrender, taped her arrest at a hotel, and broke a promise not to post it on social media, she says.
The White House then digitally altered it to smear her.

Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show will be interpreted by Celimar Rivera Cosme into Puerto Rican Sign Language, a unique dialect used on the island that academic researchers and other experts consider endangered.
Bad Bunny’s Sign Language Interpreter Will Make Super Bowl History, Too
Puerto Rican Sign Language is not the same as American Sign Language. Celimar Rivera Cosme will uniquely capture the rapper’s slang for the game’s deaf viewers.

It's a weird compliment to people when an autistic person feels comfortable melting down around you. Although it doesn't feel like it.

your ableism has consequences. maybe you won’t become disabled (you will), but your ableism means I won’t be in your life... and that’s a pretty bad consequence.

I can’t hit on “he shouldn’t be considered a candidate” harder than this, but I will add that he’s done less than nothing for the houseless community, actively made it worse for middle/poverty level families, and the reason why the dems will still put him up is because he protects the richer classes
