The problem is that Hehr left himself very little room to maneuver, he has a laundry list of being basically an unsympathetic lout.
He insulted a the wife of a veteran who had PTSD, He was accused of insulting Thalidomide victims.
He was investigated for using his parliamentary resources to help his dad win an election to the school board.
And now this.
Now I can believe that one or maybe two of these things could be a misunderstanding, but now we seem to have a pattern of someone who's got a personality flaw. But its not on you, most people don't expose their darker nature to those that are closest to them, they hide them.
Maybe your friend needs help and this is the kickstart to him getting it.
On the other hand, maybe he's just a jerk and he should find a job that doesn't involve other people.

This.
I think most of us have been jarred at one time or another by the behaviour of someone we thought we knew well, or even had been lifelong friends with.
It can be shocking and results in a whole lot of emotions; confusion and disappointment among them.
I don't know whether this is the case for Slava or not but this situation has occurred with people I knew, or thought I knew, and I think it's a very natural instinct to protect the friend or try to rationalize the behaviour.
How many times have we heard loved ones or close friends of someone accused of some misdeed say "I know (insert name here) and this is not him/her. This is not something he/she would do, say, etc."
