Watch and decide for yourself. Bearing witness is uncomfortable. Letting someone tell you what TSF said is giving up your agency. Why set yourself up for gaslighting? Why let others tell you how to interpret what is being said?
Those moments when he says the quite part out loud can be reveling.

Participating in a democracy means paying attention. Even when it's painful to watch or listen.

Go ahead and watch a recap. Some will play it straight, most will have some spin.

It'll raise my husband's blood pressure and he has enough problems with that as it is. Besides, listening to and looking at him has become intolerable for me.

because there is not "HELL NO!" option.

I can't listen to that man's voice, I can't watch him being applauded by Republicans and, sadly, most likely some Democrats as well.
