or is this a good reason to bring attention to themselves temporarily?

There are things being said every day that are racist, anti-woman, anti-immigrant, slurs against the President and the First Lady. The list never ends. Faux News, etc.

Why now? For how long?

It makes me wonder what this is really about. Who really benefits here.
