Backlash mounted Thursday after the Washington Post published an article about a private figure who wore a blackface costume to a Halloween party two years ago.

The article, published Wednesday, detailed incidents at a 2018 Halloween party hosted by Tom Toles, the publication’s editorial cartoonist.

“A middle-aged white woman named Sue Schafer” wore blackface with a name tag identifying herself as “Megyn Kelly,” who had recently “caused a stir by defending the use of blackface by white people,” the Post wrote.

The article included quotes from numerous people at the party, including Toles and Schafer. The Post noted that Schafer “has spent many hours in therapy talking about” how her behavior was careless, adding that she said she’s “deeply ashamed.” The article notes that its very publication resulted in Schafer being fired from her job.

The decision to write about Schafer’s Halloween costume sparked backlash following publication, as the woman is not a public figure and the incident happened in 2018. The article claimed that the “blackface incident” “resurfaces amid protests.”

I’m guessing the backlash is coming from mortified white Democrats.

Toles is one sick SOB. Beyond psychopathic. His cartoons are occasionally funny but mostly drip with vitriol and hatred. That is why the Post hired him after dropping another lunatic, possibly Ted Ralls (who might have been the son of Ted Bundy, according to Harry Reid’s sources). /sarc

It’s pretty weird how so many nutjob commies who used to produce copy for Soviet fellow traveler rags like Mother Jones, In These Times and the Nation have now highly-paid sinecures at the major media organizations.
