The right-wing media, willfully ignoring the press investigations into Tara Reade’s accusations, insist that former vice president Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee, has not been treated similarly to accused conservative men (e.g., President Trump, Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh). They have a point, but not the one they were trying to make.
Let’s start with the big picture: Right-wing groups persistently engage in conduct for which Republicans are not held to account. The latter are allowed to remain silent after instances of conduct with a strong stench of white nationalism, but pay no penalty for their quietude. Right-wing demonstrators at Michigan’s statehouse this week — angrily shouting, not social distancing, misogynistic in their message, some carrying Confederate garb — were not engaged in peaceful protest. This was a mob endangering the health of police officers and others seeking to intimidate (small "d") democratic government. Some protesters compared Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) to Adolf Hitler and displayed Nazi symbols. Newsweek reported:
“What happened in Lansing today is dangerous in so many ways,” said Michigan Democratic Congressman Dan Kildee in a Thursday statement. “Today’s protest will come at the expense of public health. Protesters openly defied the advice of medical experts, putting their own lives and the health of all Michiganders at risk.”

Jen.....Jen.....Jen......go put some MAKE-UP on!
Gee, another “journalist” poser
Whatever Ms. Rubin is smoking is causing strong delusions...
Jenn is a piece of schiff.
Too many mushrooms and chardonnay after journalism class at Yale.
Jebbifer (sp intentional) is really getting deranged.
She longs for the days of the GOP putting up Designated Losers like Yeb!
There is no amount of makeup that can cover her ugliness, it runs clear to the bone.
Jennifer Rubin is living proof that one can’t be hired by the compost unless they are a liar with a below average IQ!
The Babylon Post?
Bezos Be Beaming.
The whole talking point of “the NY Times investigated this already” which so many of the liberals were using just sort of blew up in their faces when the NY Times just called for it to be investigated. But they won’t let facts get in the way of the narrative.
“quietude”....?
Michigan Democratic Congressman Dan Kildee is one of the sleazyist little scumbags you will ever meet. I was at some event and there was this scumbag handing out little State maps. Wrinkled clothes, a faint odor, hair sorta combed. He handed handed one of taxpayer funded maps like he was Santa Clause and shook my hand. I wished I was wearing rubber gloves.
Wikipedia describes Mzzz. Rubin as “ a conservative columnist “ for The Washington Compost.
Of course, The New York Times considers David Brooks and Billy Kristol as conservatives so, to the socialist mindset, I suppose anything is possible.
Hilarious that they even still tout Rubin as a conservative. She’s a freaking wacko.
LOL
They should have published that one on April first!
None of the four examples she gave prevent the protest from being a peaceful one.
