I disagree. It's a first amendment thing, and this is a public figure? Was it crass? Absolutely. Should we start criminalizing people for calling out politicians even when it's crass? I don't think so.

Yeah I'd say it's morally bad, even sexual harassment, but also constitutionally protected political speech, in part because it's to an elected member of the government
