Morning Joe gave a textbook example today of how the liberal media can rehabilitate one of its own who has, to borrow a British expression, blotted her copybook.
The journalist being rehabilitated was 27-year-old Alexi McCammond, who was fiercely denounced as a racist after she was appointed editor-in-chief of Teen Vogue, which is an infamous radical-left site. Activists resurfaced anti-Asian tweets from 2011 -- when McCammond was 17 -- and she was forced out before she even started.
Mika Brzezinski tried to rehabilitate McCammond without the slightest fraction of specifics about what she had said -- thoughtless teenaged tweets about "swollen Asian eyes" and a "stupid Asian TA."

So long as you’re a liberal, you can always make a comeback!

Often you don't have to leave. Joy Reid made openly disparaging remarks about gays, claimed she was hacked, shown to have lied about that too, and then just said her views "have evolved". She wasn't even taken off the air at MSLSD.
Great point. Not only wasn’t she punished, she was rewarded, being given her own prime-time show.
The issue is never the issue, the issue is always the revolution...
It was wrong to punish a 27 yr. old, for posts she made as a minor (17). If she had (say) physically assaulted an Asian TA as a minor, and been convicted and sent to a young-offender facility for the crime — that whole incident would have been expunged from her record. But, apparently, an insulting Tweet is worse than any crime. That’s wrong #1.
MSNBC is committing wrong #2, by extending her the kid-glove treatment they would never extend to a conservative.
In this case, two wrongs might make a right — in so far as McCammond now has a chance to put it all behind her. The on-going wrong is the ongoing discrimination against any conservative with essentially the same set of circumstances.
When are the Asians going to get a clue and quit voting for their tormentors? Maybe brilliant people in STEM but idiots otherwise.
Wow.
