Nick Bosa's Twitter backlash.

Nick Bosa is one of the top prospects heading into the 2019 NFL Draft and will not have to wait long for his name to be called on Thursday night when the first round is held.

The former Ohio State star recently came under fire from some critics, however, due to his politically charged social-media musings.

Bosa used to occasionally tweet praise of President Donald Trump and weigh in other issues from what may be classified as coming from a conservative perspective. He has recently toned down on making such social-media dispatches heading into the draft, though, instead focusing more on sports.

That did not stop critics from poring over Bosa’s Twitter history, and what was discovered resulted in a fair share of criticism, including over his perceived lack of conviction.

Given San Francisco’s well-established liberal bent, Bosa feared the city and a sizable contingent of 49ers fans may not welcome his political views.
"Perceived lack of conviction."

Op/Ed at USA MacPaper:
By deleting his old posts, and acknowledging he’s doing it because he’s concerned about negative reaction, Bosa is signalling he doesn't have enough faith in his convictions to defend them, or that he'd just rather not admit to having the views he does. Because if he’s taken the time to consider why he believes what he does, he should have no problem explaining that, controversial or disagreeable as the opinions might be.

Or, put another way, if you support someone or something strongly enough to post about it on multiple occasions, then you’d better be ready to own it.
Yeeaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh. Because no Liberal on Twitter or anywhere else has ever had to walk-back, defend or "own" their words. Ever. Because if there's anything Liberals have, it's steadfast "conviction". Because Liberals are always so eloquent, reasonable and rational in explaining their beliefs. Because Liberals are so tolerant, open-minded and fair.

That's a damn fine hidden talent you have there, Nance.
