LA Times op-ed slammed for comparing Trump-supporting neighbors to Hezbollah
washington examiner ^ | 2/7/2021 | EMMA COLTON

A Los Angeles Times opinion column is under fire for comparing supporters of former President Donald Trump to Hezbollah and Nazi sympathizers.

“This woman compares her Trump-supporting neighbors, who plowed her driveway, to Nazi sympathizers & Hezbollah & wrestles w/whether to show them any kindness since she ‘can’t give them absolution,’” journalist Megyn Kelly wrote of the piece. “Note to Virginia Heffernen’s neighbors: don’t plow again.”

The Los Angeles Times published a piece last week titled “What can you do about the Trumpites next door?” which described how author Virginia Heffernan’s driveway was cleared of snow by her Trump-supporting neighbors.

“Of course, on some level, I realize I owe them thanks — and, man, it really looks like the guy back-dragged the driveway like a pro — but how much thanks?” she wrote. “These neighbors are staunch partisans of blue lives, and there aren’t a lot of anything other than white lives in the neighborhood.”

Heffernan went on then to compare the act of clearing her driveway to how Hezbollah “also gives things away for free.”

“The favors Hezbollah does for people in the cities Tyre and Sidon probably don’t involve snowplows, but, like other mafias, Hezbollah tends to its own — the Shiite sick, elderly and hungry,” she wrote.

This is how the Nazis smeared the Jews before they rounded them up.

Dehumanization.

“ This is how the Nazis smeared the Jews before they rounded them up.”

Yup. And the same will happen to us if we allow them to confiscate guns “for our safety and the safety of others.” When they come, give them the bullets first. I know I will.

Her Trumpite neighbors must be dumb as a box of rocks to not know Hefernan is a hardcore commienazi. Leftists don’t hide who they are.

The management of the newspaper deliberately incited violence against Republicans. It deserves to spend a few years in prison.

You know the Cold War is about to go hot when brain damaged individuals think Trump supporters are worse than Hezbollah and Nazi sympathizers.

I’m rather tiring of these twit-heavy articles.

It’s the new norm for lazy ‘journalists’ and there should only be one response...

Virginia Heffernen is a moonbat. All her scribblings reflect that. She is part of the daily comedy that makes up the LA Times.
