Weissman, an Army veteran with more than 95,000 Twitter followers, wrote that he spent a couple of years defending Trump and calling media critical of the president"fake news," before realizing he"had always been aggressive and mean." Weissman recounted that a liberal comedian, Sarah Silverman, reached out to him after he attacked her online and"used kindness, which was not expected, and she got my attention." Weissman said Silverman told him why she did not like Trump"without any arguments," and that he learned about Democratic values as other liberals communicated kindly with him.
