Your attack on @AndrewYang is an abuse of power

- people fired for poor performance do not deserve anonymity, period

- bringing your family on a long fundraising trip is proper, not improper

- talking about race awkwardly is evidence of being human, not racist
FWIW, I’m not a @AndrewYang supporter, I’m a supporter of quality journalism, and for the journalistic standards the @nytimes used to have
I mean, seriously: does anybody really think @AndrewYang is sexist and racist?

Does anybody think they really know what he believes or said on the basis of this article?

Does @ByMattStevens really think @AndrewYang is a racist who fired women because they were women? Really?
Let he who has never spoken awkwardly about race and racism be the first to cast stones

If we were to interview everyone who has ever worked with @ByMattStevens would they all tell us that everything he has ever said been perfectly woke?
If we want to get over the horrible history of racism I don’t think this kind of scrutiny of every awkward, half-baked thing that obviously well-intentioned people have ever said is very helpful.

Articles like this make me despair for our country’s civic culture
