But effusing to vote for it because you view it as political theatre is not analogous to voting against bigotry.

I think the GOP has a recent history of trying to downplay racist/sexist/other 'ist' comments by members... and then freaking out when a Democrat speaks out against the US's relationship with Israel.  I will note that some members of the party have called out other members of their party for out of line comments and actions... but (of course there would be one) not a consistently as they've been calling out the Muslim woman.
