WaPo’s Lorenz on ‘Libs of TikTok’ Exposé: ‘For All We Knew, This Could Have Been a Foreign Actor’

During Sunday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Reliable Sources,” Washington Post tech columnist Taylor Lorenz said one of the reasons she revealed the identity of the so-called “Libs of TikTok” Twitter account poster was because “for all we knew, this could have been a foreign actor.”

Lorenz also said given the “Libs of TikTok” poster’s willingness to conduct interviews with other media outlets, it was “quite important and in the public’s interest” to reveal who she was.

“Well, it wasn’t — I would say it’s equally important describing the power that this account has,” she said. “I think it’s rare to see an account gain so much prominence so quickly and be shaping these narratives in such an effective way, especially against trans people. So, I was — I mean, my story was kind of long, but I really wanted to make the case like why this account mattered. And I think it’s incredibly important, you know, as someone that covers the influencer industry to know who is exerting influence in this way. I mean, for all we knew, this could have been a foreign actor, right, or someone — we just didn’t know.” “And so, I thought, hey, look, this account has massive power, massive influence. This woman is basically on an entire right-wing media tour. She gives interviews to The New York Post, Tucker, all of that, and registered as a media company, registered a trademark. So, yeah, I wanted to — I thought it was quite important and in the public’s interest to find out who was running it."

The funding that led to Lorenz finding out who the force behind Libs of Tik-Tok came from German intelligence. Lorenz is the foreign actor.

“A good example is found in Washington Post columnist Taylor Lorenz. She recently used data gathered by a far-left activist named Travis Brown, whose activities are subsidized by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, to shred the privacy of an American citizen.”
WashingtonTimes
She was the one working with a Foreign Actor. What a grotesque hypocrite.

I made a call to talk show host, Howie Carr, detailing Taylor Lorenz doxing of Jews. The Libs of Tik tok is not the first time Taylor Lorenz has viciously doxxed Jews -- some of them non political, too. My call to Howie Carr about Taylor Lorenz starts at 7.45 minutes into the broadcast.

The person Lorenz got LOTT into from is paid by German government, a foreign actor.

The same beyotch who was blubbering on air about others invading her privacy, using her personal info against her, going to family members, etc etc. And there she is doing the exact same thing less than a month later.

Maybe Lorenz is brain dead enough to think she can explain to Tucker Carlson why she “right” to dox LOTT.

As I said in my call to Howie Carr, this is Stalinist logic: how dare you make the party favorites look bad by quoting their own words. This Lorenz big itch really likes going after Jews -- even non political ones who are merely related to Conservative (politically Conservative, that is) Jews.

Taylor Lorenz is an evil totalitarian, helping to sic a goon squad after people she disagrees with; i.e., a doxxing enabler.

Who cares if they were? Posting videos of liberal whackadoo in their own words…

Who cares where they are from?

Leftists worried someone exposing them, that’s all they care about

By Taylor’s standard, using a VPN might open pandora’s box of “foreign actors.”

Lorenz is a sociopathic liar, which is why she works at the NYTimes.

Funny she would say that since the Germans gave her the name.
