The no-standards Left is run by scoundrels, – Latest News
The American left’s advocacy for tried-and-failed concepts, embrace of fair-is-foul and foul-is-fair morality and disdain for excellence has — shock, shock — rendered it incapable of rebuking its ascendant class of scoundrels, fraudsters and morons.
Exhibit A: the celebration of Karen Attiah’s reinstatement at The Washington Post by a mouth-breathing arbitrator on Monday.
After saying the information on X, Attiah, a race-hustling antisemite who was let go final September over a sequence of jaw-dropping social media posts in regards to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, was greeted like a battle hero coming back from the entrance.

Jim Acosta known as it “Great news!”; George Conway congratulated her; Peter Beinart marveled at her “courage.”
For her half, Attiah asserted that she had been fired “for speaking the truth after Charlie Kirk’s killing.”
As is her customized, she had gotten it utterly backwards.
Devoid of clever thought and replete with hideous instincts, Attiah took to the keyboard after Kirk’s homicide by a politically motivated cretin.
“Part of what keeps America so violent is the insistence that people perform care, empty goodness and absolution for white men who espouse hatred and violence,” Attiah mused in a single hateful (is there another variety?) Bluesky post.
In one other, she attributed the suggestion that “Black women do not have the brain processing power to be taken seriously. You have to go steal a white person’s slot” to Kirk.
The drawback — and for the uninitiated, this is a biggie within the subject of journalism — is that she fabricated the quote.

What Kirk had really argued was that the left wished to have its cake and eat it too on affirmative motion.
Attiah lied about what Kirk stated, misconstrued opposition to racial quotas as appalling bigotry and smeared the sufferer of a grisly homicide.
Both revolting and incompetent, she’s the sort of particular person you’d be embarrassed to know, a lot much less make use of.
Yet none different than former President Barack Obama got here speeding to her protection within the aftermath of her ouster by mendaciously spouting off in regards to the First Amendment.
That the one most influential determine in Democratic Party politics felt compelled to affiliate himself with this lowlife is telling.

With few exceptions, leftists have deserted requirements altogether, opting as an alternative to mount infinite defenses of the indefensible.
Take the meteoric rise of Hasan Piker.
Piker believes the United States acquired what was coming to it on September 11, 2001, has made gentle of Kirk’s homicide and is among the many nation’s main purveyors of antisemitism.
In one latest Twitch stream, he pinned the blame for American Jews’ persecution on their affinity for Israel, which he known as “Jewish ISIS.”

Yet Zohran Mamdani, Abdul El-Sayed and different Democrats proceed to marketing campaign alongside him.
Sen. Bernie Sanders even went to date as to inform James Carville to pound sand after he objected to Piker’s growing affect.
“Well, that’s not much of a choice. If Mr. Carville doesn’t want to be in my party, in the party that I belong to, that Piker, that El-Sayed belongs to, he can start his own party,” declared Sanders.
Perverse, yes — however hardly sudden.
This is the identical social gathering that stood by Graham Platner by way of a Nazi tattoo, abuse allegations and jaw-dropping rants about low cost black people and wounded American troopers, abandoning him solely when it grew to become clear he would value them a Senate seat.
The identical motion that has elevated Mamdani and El-Sayed’s much less militant, however more insidious model of anti-Americanism.
And the identical group of people who created the situations that allowed the fabulist Jason Arday to change into a star, then insisted he had been lynched after his many sins had been made public.
They’ll miscast fabricated quotes as free speech, excuse 9/11 apologism and permit plagiarists to commit institutional arson so long as they depend the offenders amongst their ideological allies.
As the left continues to radicalize, it’s more and more susceptible to letting outrageously dangerous conduct, outright lies and mediocrity run rampant.
Because dangerous concepts — from de facto race essentialism, to Third Worldist revisionism, to collectivist economics — not solely entice the villainous and asinine, however rob others of the flexibility to police them.
