Neocon WashPo Editor Who Trashed Anti-Vaxxers Dies Of 'Sudden Cardiac Arrest'

Washington Post editorial page editor Fred Hiatt, a bloodthirsty neocon who used his position to shill America into the war in Iraq and push forced vaccines, died on Monday after suffering from sudden cardiac arrest.

From the Washington Post Editorial Board: The right’s reckless anti-vaccine campaign is not mere pandering. It’s fatal. @postopinions https://t.co/aRUgleDDfw

From the WaPo editorial board: Covid-19 is the No. 1 killer of police officers. Unions are supposed to protect their members' health and welfare. So why do their unions oppose mandating vaccines? @postopinions https://t.co/1Njn2UTSEG

From the WaPo editorial board: Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida, a Republican, has descended to a jaw-dropping level of cynicism. Fining local governments that impose vaccine mandates... promoting false claims about life-saving vaccines... @postopinionshttps://t.co/2P7BaJR68t

Today the Washington Post and the world lost an exceptional journalist and remarkable man: long-time Editorial Page Editor Fred Hiatt. I will miss his thoughtfulness, professionalism, and warm friendship. Our thoughts are with his beloved family at this difficult time. pic.twitter.com/NoATYyyy7A

We at @postopinions are devastated at the loss of our leader and our friend, Fred Hiatt. Fred was the soul of our section, as kind as he was smart, the antithesis of pompous, the finest judgment, the finest person. https://t.co/KtZsJZwNfV

Hiatt, 66, "had sudden cardiac arrest on Nov. 24 while visiting his daughter in Brooklyn, said his wife, Margaret 'Pooh' Shapiro, and did not regain consciousness," the Post reported.

Hiatt's vaccination/booster status is not clear but as we all know, the sudden surge in heart disease throughout the West is purely a coincidence.

Under Hiatt's leadership, the Post hired neocon agents like Jennifer Rubin, Michael Gerson and Anne Applebaum who helped lie the American public into the war in Iraq.

Hiatt published "at least" 27 editorials pushing for war in the six months preceding the invasion, according to PBS's Bill Moyers.

Despite relentlessly pushing the Russiagate hoax and attacking Donald Trump from all fronts on the Post's editorial page, Hiatt published articles praising him for attacking Syria (based on lies).

Though Hiatt was a rabid neocon when it came to American foreign policy, he was a radical leftist on domestic policy. He published endless editorials advocating for Big Tech censorship, hate speech laws, mass immigration, gun control, forced vaccines, covid tyranny, transgenderism, anti-white critical race theory, fake meat and so on.

Hiatt embodied the worst of the worst in America.

I doubt you’ll find much whooping and back slapping on social media, though. Thats the Left’s style.

That is not a leap of logic and accusation, it's a jump over the Grand Canyon.

There is no anti-vaccine campaign; there's a pro-freedom, anti-mandate campaign.

Sorry it happened at his daughters house, most likely in front of grand kids. That’s the extent of my sadness.

Never paid any attention to Hiatt.. But if the article is reasonably accurate about him, no big loss. By comparison, Hugh Hewitt spent long segment of his program slobbering over this guy, and how wonderful he was.

After listening to Hugh Hewitt over the years, I'm hard put to call him conservative. This pundit will roll over any
conservative value just to remain on the cocktail circuit.

If the editor's death was vaxx-related, wonder if his family will be quietly paid off to shut up about it since it's not like they can sue...

“What day did he get his booster shot?”

Exactly what I was wondering. I’m guessing this info will not be forthcoming.

2013 photo - 59 years old at that time - looks trim, healthy, and younger than his age.

He was unconscious for two weeks in a New York City hospital.

Medical bill? Probably $500,000.
