I laugh my ass off whenever someone claims they would have respected or otherwise supported someone for something that didn't happen when everyone else realizes there no way the person would have done so.
It's like when my mom used to say, if you hadn't sneaked that cookie earlier, I would have bought you ice-cream for desert.
The point is, when someone is looking for a reason not to like someone or give that person something, they are going to find a reason somewhere eventually.
