“Finally the old commie dingbat kicked the bucket.”
She was much worse than a dingbat. Bella Abzug said very ugly things about the Baltic republics for resisting absorption and conquest (tens of thousands died) by Stalin. Abzug condemned the Finns for their brave resistance. And the East Germans. And the Hungarians. And the Czechoslovaks. And the South Vietnamese. For the same reason: they were resisting communism. And Bella Abzug was a communist enabler.
National Review had the best Abzug obit of all:
“She will not be missed.”
Rudy offered the standard public condolence. Period. Now, back to our debate.
“And Bella Abzug was a communist enabler.”
In her early days, Bella was a communist. She just never changed.
Good for National Review. Short and on point.
