Amber Athey of the Daily Caller calls attention tweets by Jeong’s about killing men, and also to tweets in which Jeong called for “banning the police” and expressed her animus towards police officers through profanity. “Cops are a**h***s,” Jeong explained in 2015. She also tweeted “f**k the police” on several occasions over a period of years. One of these tweets included a gif of characters physically attacking a police officer. The Times ludicrously has defended Jeong’s tweets as satiric responses to hateful tweets by her Twitter adversaries. Perhaps the Times will show us the tweet from a police officer that...

What do the ‘educated left wing elite’ believe?IIn the uproar over Sarah Jeong’s hiring by the New York Times, the focus on her history of hateful rhetoric against white people overlooked her many other expressions of hatred — toward males, Christians and police officers, among others.

In a decision that could be only be described as dumbfounding and hypocritical, The New York Times is standing by its decision to hire tech writer Sarah Jeong as an editorial board member despite the emergence of racially-charged tweets she posted a few years ago. It’s dumbfounding given the racism of the tweets. It’s hypocritical, considering the Times hired and fired — in the same day — another writer, Quinn Norton, after old racially charged tweets emerged from her past. To review how we got here, the Times announced its hiring of Jeong on Thursday. But, like any big hire,...
