Keith Olbermann’s scathing trans remark, more Maui mistakes from Biden and more
Diary of disturbing disinformation and dangerous delusions
This tweet:
We say: The former MSNBC and ESPN commentator made the scathing comment in response to former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines’ tweet about the definition of “woman.”
Twitter users added context to Olbermann’s post: “Riley Gaines was a very successful swimmer and ended her collegiate ‘wildcat’ career as one of the most decorated swimmers in the history of the program.”
Gaines, who opposed having to compete against trans swimmer Lia Thomas, was also named 2022 Female Swimmer and Diver of the Year at her conference.
But Gaines himself put it well the failed talking head“Ah, that makes sense now why you got fired from ESPN.”
This claim:
“Finally, many older white conservatives feel threatened by multiracial younger generations who are largely rejecting their most basic values of faith, gender and patriotism. Ramaswamy is part of that menacing cohort, and he’s telling Republicans their suspicions are justified.”
— Columnist for the New York Times Michelle GoldbergMonday
We say: Goldberg is usually a goldmine of goofy statements, but this is one of her funniest yet.
Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy advises fellow Republicans that young people of color reject their ideas?
He’s living proof that she’s wrong.
The 38-year-old son of Indian immigrants has focused his campaign on his opposition to wakefulness and a love of American values.
This statement:
“Lightning struck my house. We had to leave the house for about seven months during the repairs because the house was so badly damaged and half the house almost collapsed.”
— President Joe Biden, Thursday
We say: The price is Despite it He compared his small fire, which didn’t go beyond the kitchen, to the devastation on Maui, where wildfires have killed more than 100 people and practically destroyed an entire town.
No, Joe, it doesn’t have to be all about you.
But the president has embellished or just made up stories throughout his career to make him likable.
This complaint:
“I was shocked to learn that members of this community are being forced to identify as white. . . . It is an insult to them and hampering the ability of policymakers to serve these communities.”
— state senator Michael GianarisMonday
We say: No one is forced to identify themselves as “white” if they don’t want to.
Of Middle Eastern and North African descent, Gianaris claims his bill (which will force the state to break down data into these categories) would help it come in different hues.
How they identify racially is up to them, not fanatics like Gianaris.
Would the Queens progressives make a similar remark about members of an ethnic community who are “forced to self-identify as ‘black'”?
