What I like about Zohran is he seems to be the one person to realize if he just remains a reasonable dude and lets everyone else be unreasonably horrible to him, they do their own smear campaigns. Literally all he has to do is gently interrogate whatever plops out of their mouths, it's hilarious.
Zohran is probably tactful enough not to talk about it publicly but I bet this whole thing is insanely weird for him
