By now two founders of Vox, @ezraklein and @mattyglesias, have been delighted guests of white supremacist @benshapiro—an alumnus of a Nazi-laundering hate site + an inciter of terrorism who warned on a Nazi podcast that Jews are working to destroy Christianity. Pretty fucked up!
Would @ezraklein and @mattyglesias sell books at an actual KKK rally? Then what is it about Shapiro's horrific bigotry and violent incitement that makes them feel so at ease?
Then answer the second question.
First sentence is extremely true but I AM NOT BITTER!!!!!!! ☀️🌞😎☀️🌞😎☀️🌞😎 (Or no more bitter than a person should be in September 2020!!) (also it's not relevant thanks!!!!!)
