Walter Hudson, a public figure known for his commentary on social and political issues, posted a series of tweets on September 21, 2025, addressing the concept of grace and the nature of certain arguments he encounters online.

In an early morning post at 06:02 UTC, Hudson responded to criticism with pointed remarks. He wrote, "Yeah. I anticipated such a deranged argument. You get the merit badge for first stupid enough to make it. See. The 'yeah, but Hortman was great and Kirk was evil' argument fails on two fronts. 1) It's objectively and obviously untrue. 2) More importantly, it's irrelevant."

Later that day at 16:38 UTC, Hudson reflected on the limits of forgiveness in another tweet: "It's impossible to extend grace to the unrepentant. That's why hell is a thing."

Shortly after, at 16:58 UTC, he elaborated further on his views regarding grace and repentance: "Abhorrent bile like this really tests my capacity for grace. But... I think that's actually okay. See. Grace can only be extended to the repentant. And it's very, very clear that we're *not* dealing with the repentant."

Hudson's statements reflect ongoing debates about moral judgment and forgiveness in both religious and secular contexts. The distinction between extending grace to those who are repentant versus those who are not has been discussed in various theological traditions as well as in broader ethical conversations.
