The Word That Can't Be Questioned

The Florida gubernatorial race is being portrayed as a Trump vs Sanders proxy fight with a far left Bernie bro running for the Dems and a Trump-supported congressman for the Republicans. So it is necessary for the media to find what they can to destroy the latter. The Washington Post has certainly got the goods on the GOP's Ron DeSantis - because he made the mistake of attending a conference whose speakers included ...um, me:

At the same conference, conservative author Mark Steyn praised Trump as the first politician to talk about immigration policy from the perspective of people already in the United States.

"The more diverse you get, the more stupid you get," Steyn said. "The more authoritarian you get . . . the more you need people to police diversity and to police cultural sensitivities. And eventually you end up as a totally moronic society.

The lack of closing quotes is in the original. Evidently Jeff Bezos has been laying off the sub-editors. But to the point content-wise:

Yeah, all that's true, I'd say. And it's interesting that the two reporters credited with the story don't bother suggesting why a chap shouldn't be permitted to attend a conference at which another chap advances such a proposition. As with the attempt to boot Tucker Carlson off the air because he asked the question "But why exactly is diversity our strength?", to query the state religion is an act of heresy that must be punished.

Great column by the Great Steyn. I suspect he’s turned down numerous offers to do his own radio show. If so, it’s a shame. He’s an intellectual with incredible wit.
