You know that Washington Post’s Jennifer Rubin has really gone over the slide when she even gets in a Twitter fight with another journalist, all because of her flaming hatred of the president. Rubin has had rants in the past but Walter Reed Medical Center allowing President Donald Trump to go home to the White House to continue to convalesce. Old tweets come back to BITE Jennifer Rubin after she says Merrick Garland and Doug Jones aren’t good enough for AG Posted at 2:43 pm on December 17, 2020 by Greg P. I haven’t made an effort yet to see how far back I need to go if in WaPo columnist Jennifer Rubin’s timeline on Twitter to find the last time she mentioned anything that might remotely be considered a “conservative” thought. The WaPo ostensibly holds her out to the public as one of its “conservative” voices on its OpEd page.
Jennifer Rubin Column Today
Washington Post My Twitter blurb used to describe me as a “conservative opinion writer.” Now it reads: “NeverTrump, pro-democracy opinion writer.” Why the change? Let’s be honest: There is no conservative movement or party today. There is a Republican Party thoroughly infused with racism and intellectually corrupted by right-wing nationalism. But there is no party that believes in less or small government (though expect the GOP to hypocritically resume singing that tune as soon as a Democrat steps into the Oval Office). If you say you are a staunch defender of the rule of law, that you are devoted to ending systematic racism, that you are an advocate of legal immigration, that you believe in objective reality (including climate change science) and that you think illiberal regimes such as Russia are our greatest foreign threat, the party of Trump will lash out at you. They will accuse you of Trump derangement syndrome and dub you a “fake” conservative. Well, they have a point. Because conservatives no longer seem to champion any of those positions (or free trade or American international leadership or NATO), it is hard to say I fit in any longer. |
