She sucks and it’s not just her politics.

The GQ story imagining leftwing female Nick Fuentes fans is stone cold one of the worst things ever published on the right wing beat. Prose, reporting, consideration of material.

I have seen some horrible writing and reporting in my day but this really stands out.

CBS aired a segment by Olivia Reingold—a reporter for the Weiss-founded Free Press—in which NYPD officers are worried about Mamdani, with some “considering retiring.” The evidence? Four unnamed officers quoted out of ~33,000.

The story is thinly sourced, fearmongering, tabloid drek. trib.al/hfqsrL0

I think we can both understand that Andy is 1)not a particularly bright man and 2) that he doesn’t have to be to create harm in this environment.

I do think these influencers are utterly failing at getting people to care about antifa though.
