This is the icing on top of the cake....

They are the co-organizer of the Zenith Cooperative, a mentorship program for early-career journalists from marginalized backgrounds. They have reported for the BBC, VICE News, Sojourners, The Nation, The New Republic, Mic, and elsewhere.

I don't even know where to start.

Hey Lexi, that dairy cow wants her nose ring back.

[EEGator]

I’ll start. Repeal the 19th Amendment.

[Kaiser8408a]

This is so disgusting and my wife’s loser family will repeat this like parrots. I HATE Democrats!!

[Gay State Conservative]

When I’m drunk and seeing double I’ll use “they”. At other times it’s “it” and “that”.

[Rummyfan]

Teen Vogue? TEEN VOGUE?!

“An op-ed from a National Review staffer in the Washington Post, November 2022: “DeSantis would pave the way for a post-Trump GOP return to normal.”

If he did that, it would be the end of the Republican party. There would be no further point in participating in elections.

[escapefromboston]

It’s no surprise that they will go after Ron just as much as they went after Trump. Republicans thinking they will go easy on him just because he’s not Trump are deluding themselves.

[HYPOCRACY]

I liked them better when they kept in their lane...

[Mark]

Go to Sweden and work on climate change!

[EEGator]

Stripes was great.

[ModelBreaker]

In reality Teen Vogue is just ahead of the curve.

DeSantis will be a great alternative for most of the media until he is nominated. Then he will immediately become Satan incarnate.

Lexi just jumped the gun.

[Allegra]

I’m hoping the subscription/circulation numbers of this trash are very low.

My comments aren’t meant to show a preference for either Trump or DeSantis. They are simply to show the predictable actions and words coming from Democrats.

Those who say DeSantis is a better choice because he doesn’t have Trump’s baggage need to understand that Democrats will immediately load all of that baggage and more on DeSantis.

For instance:

“For example, past recipients include DeSantis’s current nemesis and then president-elect Donald Trump in 2016, and Adolf Hitler in 1938. But it’s another example of the media buzz around DeSantis and his possible presidential candidacy.”

She’s purposefully linking DeSantis to both Trump and Hitler in the same sentence for the skulls full of mush that are the readers of her magazine.

Lenin was right wing to these people.

[Old Retired Army Guy]

Did you notice that she skipped over DeSantis’s Military Service?

[LittleBillyInfidel]

Lexi McEnema (her/icky) needs to learn from her mommy that blue eyeliner doesn’t make her eyes “more blue”.

[Paladin2]

As good as DeSantis has been, given that he doesn’t have FU money, he is likely to become a puppet/muppet of the GOPee.

[Gay State Conservative]

Yes,*whoever* the GOP nominates will become Satan’s *other* evil twin.

[Paladin2]

Coloring hair is SO unsustainable.
