I’m not saying that the people working behind the scenes over at ABC are cruel, but the franchise does seem to have moved away from matchmaking into cherry-picking the suitors who are most likely to torture the person they’re pursuing. So it’s no surprise that Garrett, the medical sales rep who snagged the first impression rose during last night’s Bachelorette premiere, has been promptly called out as a misogynistic, transphobic, anti-immigrant asshole whose opinions appear to be completely at odds with Becca’s #Resistance social media presence. Apparently, Surprise! That guy you really liked is alt-right! is the new Surprise! Your fiancé is dumping you for someone else on national TV!

Not only does this new Garrett scandal prove that that’s BS, but it’s seriously unlikely that the people who cast Lee didn’t know what was up. After all, as Amy Kaufman revealed in her book Bachelor Nation, Bachelor vetting is intense and thorough—the process includes days of interviews, a meeting with a private investigator and a medical exam. We’d have to be pretty stupid to believe that, with all of this exhaustive research and careful consideration, no one would have bothered to go back a few months on a would-be contestant’s Twitter account.
