At first, I found it baffling that the Lt Governor’s office thought it was a good idea to blow this up into something bigger than a single lecture and some negative comments. Then I realized that it was mainly about punishing the professor and that this won’t affect Dan Patrick’s reelection chances or future in politics at all and now I’m just sad 😕
