What "moral consequences"? Nye's stances on relevant issues are well-documented. They're not refuted by merely sitting in a chair next to someone else. He's not 'lending' anything to anyone, except in the reaching imagination of those obsessed with wholly-symbolic rituals of association, distancing, and shunning. If this appearance causes some to claim Nye supports Trump's agenda – they'll quickly be refuted with all Nye's writings and performances otherwise. If this controversy wins Nye extra media appearances, he'll there again clearly articulate his own true views for anyone who might have been confused by the childlike, pre-modern, quasi-religious doctrine that "near contaminates near with idea cooties".
