Let me tell you about far leftists. They are different from you and me. If ordinary people publicly threatened to assassinate the president or a presidential candidate or wished that someone else would do so, those people would have to answer to the law. But leftists? Even when they show the world how low they really are, they still think that they are better than we are, and with good reason: no matter how criminal their deeds or words are, they suffer no consequences. They are different.
New York Times columnist John McWhorter (pictured above) has shown us this again recently by wishing someone would assassinate Donald Trump. Has he been arrested? Lost his job? Been publicly repudiated by his friends? Come on, man!
The Daily Fetched reported Thursday that McWhorter recently appeared on leftist Brown University Glenn Loury’s podcast, The Glenn Show, which has 123,000 YouTube subscribers. McWhorter was contrite — or at least as contrite as hardline leftist ideologues can get. He announced (at 17:49 here): “I have taken a great deal of heat for saying, or implying, that I wish somebody would kill Donald Trump. And that is exactly what I was implying. It was irresponsible —”
Loury jumped in to emphasize the point: “That is what you were implying.”
McWhorter agreed: “Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I said it. And it was irresponsible of me to say that in a public space. I really shouldn’t have said it here. Now I already did, and so, you know, I have to own it, I did say it. Somebody has asked, you know, ‘Do you say that in private?’ And, yes, I have said it often, and I have only halfway been kidding, and I’m gonna say it again, yes. And it is a smaller side of me. I should not wish for another person to suffer, even if it’s a hideous pig of a man like him.”
McWhorter went on to compare his statement to that of Cal State economist Julianne Malveaux, who wished that Clarence Thomas’ wife would feed him fatty foods that would clog his arteries and lead to his death. McWhorter also tried to exonerate himself by saying, “I fear for my country.”
Surprisingly, however, Loury was not convinced. He told McWhorter that he had known Malveaux since they were students together and called her a “firebrand.” Then he added, laughing awkwardly: “What you have said, I think is much worse.” McWhorter stood his ground, joining in the laugh but insisting: “No, it isn’t.” Loury explained, “Uh, do you realize what hell will have been unleashed upon the country if people start and continue to talk like that? You — This is not something that you can just casually throw around: killing politicians whom you don’t like.”
McWhorter folded, saying, “You’re right,” as Loury continued, “That is, that is not a way that you want to run the railroad, here, man, I mean, that’s — that’s disaster. Do you think it ends there? Do you think that if somebody were to do something along the lines of what you’re suggesting, that would be the end of it? You’d unleash the whirlwind.”
McWhorter responded, “Well, somebody else would run. Anyone but him would be better.” McWhorter tried to go on to blame Trump and shift the focus to his manner of speaking, and once again Loury injected some common sense: “If Trump said something like that, we would never hear the end of it.”
Loury was right, but it is McWhorter, not his gracious host, who more accurately reflected the leftist mindset. For years now, we have seen leftists legitimize violence against those whom they hate. Remember Kathy Griffin holding a mockup of Trump’s severed head? Remember Madonna saying: “I’ve thought a lot about blowing up the White House”? Remember Robert DeNiro saying he wanted to punch Trump in the face?
Don’t forget failed CNN host and cannibal Reza Aslan’s infamous rant of August 2019, calling for the genocide of supporters of the former president of the United States: “The President is a white nationalist terror leader. His supporters – ALL OF THEM – are by definition white nationalist terror supporters. The MAGA hat is a KKK hood. And this evil, racist scourge must be eradicated from society.” Aslan just got signed by the Hollywood talent agency Black Box Management.
John McWhorter will almost certainly suffer no consequences other than the mild disapproval of his friend Glenn Loury. As of this writing, McWhorter’s most recent column for the Times appeared Thursday. Will there be another? Count on it. The far left, they are not like you and me.
Leftists like McWhorter will keep saying it until someone actually acts on it. It’s simply a matter of time. McWhorter is simply too much of a coward.
In the final analysis Leftism is so backwards that, eventually, no one with a brain can agree with it so all the Left really has is compliance through murder. Stalin, Hitler, and the rest of the communist low life leaders have always relied on it.
He will be promoted not punished.
DEI poster boys prove that all “Insurrection” is not created equal.
I once received some DVDs of him going over details of all the major language families, which was actually pretty interesting. He even made a joke about examples of the Caucasian Language Family, that no, he was not at that point speaking in one of them. But I will never have anything to do with this putz again.
Leftism here will continue until there are no white people left to support the left and their cohorts. The roof will fall in and 1,000 years will pass before the west overthrows the primitives again.
1000 yrs might be a bit optimistic. Look at where we are after 1400 yrs of Islam’s predations, and now with nuclear weapons soon in the hands of those who love death more than life. We’re only 107 years into the horrors of Communism, and the body count is already well north of 100 million. The Communists/Socialists are allied with the Islamists, just as we saw with Hitler and the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. I am doubtful the American Republic will still be around in another 250 yrs (or maybe not in 100 yrs even in its current degraded state). I hope I’m wrong, but I fear the future my children and grandchildren will have to face may be a frightful and very dangerous one.
A more profound illustration of TDS cannot be found. Instead of recommending counseling for these neurotics they plaster their insanity on the public forum for all to see. It really boils down to sanity versus insanity. They sound like petulant children who want approbation but they are vocalizing crimes against the president of the USA.
The truth of the matter is that when you sow to the wind you reap the hurricane. Kathy Griffen ruined her career. Madonna is fluttering in insignificance. The libs don’t think in terms of ramifications. Their primary concern is always instant gratification. Tomorrow is not in their purview neither are the consequences for their actions. The whirlwind is on their doorstep.
Leftists are nothing but an overgrown gang of criminals. They have infiltrated the US government, so they can get away with their crimes and get free stuff on top of that.
Leftists don’t think like the rest of us they just think about how to make everyone’s life worse
If all the aforementioned leftists lived in Cuba, they would be singing the praises of the Castro legacy. They are all delusional Marxists. This is why they have no problem with Democrat-run s**tholes like San Francisco, New York, et al.
Glenn Loury is a leftist??? That would be news to him. He’s a self-proclaimed conservative economist.
The Radical Left has been waging a covert civil war against this country since the Sixties.
This revelation came as a shock to me. McWhorter wrote a book called Woke Racism, which I haven’t read, but the excepts on Amazon indicate that it was a welcome and thoughtful critique of leftist wokism.
I just looked at his X account and found the same. So, what’s going on here?
What if I said “Someone should kill him?”
Would said “reporter” be okay with that?
Gee, I wonder……….
🧐
Please disregard my last comment. Other info has since come to Light, giving reason to question this article.
Read about Haman in the Bible. Book of Ester
I’m curious if and how McWhorter’s feelings on this matter have changed since yesterday’s real assassination attempt on our former and likely future President’s life. Doesn’t matter I suppose, none of them will be held accountable for fanning the flames to get us here.
He won’t care….which is why his family must be killed. ~
