> The piece has an arch, bemused tone that ends up downplaying the ugliness on display here and, worse yet, fails to tell the bigger story of what it means that the American right - following Trump, who reversed Gallagher's conviction last year - now sees an accused war criminal as a hero to their cause.
> This love for Eddie Gallagher needs to be understood in the context of other grotesque moves toward fascism over the past few years.
> Worse, the marketing of the Times story did even more to downplay the dire significance of the fact that someone as uniquely terrible as Gallagher has become a right-wing hero.
> The retired Navy SEAL Edward Gallagher has a his new apparel line called Salty Frog Gear, which is a described as a "Coastal lifestyle brand with an edge".
> On its own, the story of Eddie Gallagher's sudden metamorphosis into right-wing culture hero may feel like an odd little trend piece.
