Gayle King calls out Pelosi for calling Trump supporters "henchmen": "Egregious language" https://t.co/9pzWctYMyM pic.twitter.com/Pyn4R5mK8X— The Hill (@thehill) September 26, 2020

Gayle King is trending on Twitter. The mob is after Gayle King for inviting Nancy Pelosi to tone down the rhetoric:
Pelosi: "The president has no fidelity to fact or truth, and actually in his comments the last few days, no fidelity to the Constitution. He and his henchmen are a danger with their comments — are a danger to our democracy. Why bother? He isn't committed to the Constitution."The word "henchman" apparently comes from the Icelandic word for "groom" — a keeper of horses. According to the OED, it has meant "a high-ranking male servant" or "a loyal (male) follower" or "A devoted or zealous (male) political supporter, a partisan" or "a person (usually a man) engaged by a politician to further his or her interests by corrupt or unscrupulous means" or "A male subordinate to a criminal or villain, esp. one who obeys his leader unquestioningly and is prepared to engage in violence or crime on his behalf; an accomplice, heavy, or sidekick."
King: "But Speaker Pelosi, here's the problem. Your language, to some, is just as egregious as what they're saying, by calling the president's people 'henchmen.' Some could say that's just as insulting as what he's saying about you."
So how bad was it for Pelosi to say "henchmen"? Not that bad, I'd say. I assume King was looking to display herself as a proponent of civility, but you know what I think about calls for civility. I think they're always bullshit — always done by people trying to get the other side to stand down. Is King an exception to my rule? I can't believe King isn't on Pelosi's side.
