Short thread: Today a person writing for the pro-Tump site "American Greatness" insulted my friend, colleague, and podcast co-host @xan_desanctis by dismissing her as my "female assistant." I don't see the writer on Twitter, but here's the link 1/: amgreatness.com/2019/01/10/con…
I've noticed an increase in personal attacks against Alexandra from MAGA writers, including from people like @KurtSchlichter. Mostly they're aimed at her age or declaring her merely my sidekick, or something else designed to insult or belittle her. 2/
This is weak and pathetic. Alexandra is a smart and insightful writer and thinker who has greatly improved our podcast since she joined. She's also ready, willing, and able to engage in a battle of ideas. She's fearless. 3/
I just want to point out once again that Trumpism isn't so much a set of ideas as it is a set of attitudes, a vindictive quest to inflict some degree of pain on perceived enemies. It's a score-settling exercise inspired by a score-settling leader. 4/
It's futile to ask these people to apologize or to refrain from personal insults, but it's not futile to oppose the Trumpification of the Right and the mistreatment of good and decent people. I'm proud to work with @xan_desanctis. She makes NR better. /end
