🤔 But It’s The Media, So Maybe It Should Be:🧐

The Nazis I reported on where labeled as mere “young conservatives” by the @MiamiHerald. On the left is a Groyper friend of Nick Fuentes who joined Ryan Sanchez. Next to him is Colton, a Nazi who has sent me lynching threats and called me a “Jew” and a “n—gger” and a “f—ggot.” https://t.co/K0ZH6Hw2He pic.twitter.com/IK6BZ7iPZI

In this post, possibly to sell a book premised on remaining friends who you disagree with, @NPRinskeep dismisses the import of holding Barr accountable for helping Trump dodge crimes as Attorney General.https://t.co/2tpEEpK1Os pic.twitter.com/Rf7hNl9s42

"...a meaningful player in Republican politics for decades.” You could say the same for Roger Stone, but he doesn’t get the same respectful attention.  The same could be said of Trump (though he’s been at it less than a decade). He’s been twice impeached and now twice indicted, with two (at least) on-deck to step into the batting box soon. But he’s still treated as a “meaningful player” because “American politics.” 🤷🏻‍♂️ 

Barr is also an unscrupulous abuser of political power. But then, so is Dick Cheney. And Trump is a grotesque racist and xenophobe:

Didn’t hear anything about that comment, from pretty much anybody.

Then again PBS still pats itself on the back for hosting the gentleman racist William Buckley for all those years.
