Hard not to notice that Buttigieg still gets skewered for doing a couple years at McKinsey in his mid 20s during the late 00s, but the general response from most of those same ppl to Graham Platner signing up to work for Blackwater in his mid 30s--not even a decade ago!--has been one big shrug.

pleased to announce that I've been hired by The New York Times. my job is to commission articles written by right-wing politicians, activists, and billionaires where they describe their activities in whatever way they see fit. it's nice because I don't have to edit or fact check anything
