A Salon writer has been roasted on social media for blaming the “male rage fuelling MAGA” for the recent incidents of women being punched in the face in New York City.
The leftist website published bizarre and unfounded claims in an article authored by Amanda Marcotte that the same misogyny behind Trump supporters animated the brutal attacks.
The article reads:
“These stories resonate, as well, because the nation is having a moment of increasingly unhinged male fury at women for daring to have lives that are centered around something other than catering to a man’s every whim. Unleashed by Donald Trump and the MAGA movement, there’s an upswell of loud male entitlement shouting at us from every corner.”
According to The Blaze, the article documented that CNN interviewed six female victims about the incidents, while dozens were reported on social media.
So far, three suspects in the unprovoked violence have been arrested.
The social media post on the article read:
“Men punching random women in NYC: A desperate last gasp of the male rage fueling MAGA.”
However, many slammed the tweet, saying it was another example of bizarre news media framing.
“Beyond parody,” responded Charles C.W. Cooke of National Review.
New York City Councilwoman Vickie Paladino wrote:
“Actually, drug-crazed and violent criminals target people who can’t fight back, and that’s usually unarmed women.”
“We can fix the problem by locking these men in prison or psych wards.”
“It’s really that simple, and doesn’t require a ninth-grade feminist think piece in Salon.”
Attorney Scott Greenfield joked:
“Amanda Marcotte has discovered the secret MAGA male rage underbelly of dark red Manhattan.”
“Can’t wait for more journalism layoffs,” said Christiana Pushaw.
“What in the f* is wrong with you?! Amanda Marcotte @Salon shows her ass in this steaming pile of hyperpartisan hatermongering horse** of an article,” read another critical response.
The article’s writer responded to the backlash by claiming that it proved she had been right all along.
“Man, I knew this article was super true when I wrote it, but the hateful emails MAGA men are sending doubly prove it. Hit dogs, as they say, holler,” she said on social media.
“Oh men, just know that your angry emails are going unread. If I see a man’s name on the email and a mention of punching women, I know what you’re going to say and will delete without a read,” she added.
“I can see that you feel seen and do not like it!”
Even the folks in NYC arent buying what she is selling. It has to be tough knowing your whole life is lie.
Mandy stepping in it AGAIN!
She’s obviously drunk on the kool aid.
I hear the majority of punchers are black!….wow I didn’t know we had that many black maga folk in New York City. What a bunch of crap!
SaLoon drunks at the Saloon.
They are trying to make MAGA a pejorative meme. I say embrace it! Make America Great Again!
If that face in the photo had been the one that got punched, I could see why it would have happened.
Liberal Salon Writer Blames MAGA for Women Being Punched in New York
___________________________________________________
Someday people will stop referring to !@#@-for-brained Leftists as “Liberals”. They are nothing of the sort. Mentally ill? Yes. Liberals? No.
Yeah, NYC is MAGA country—just like Chicago.
that’s ok- I blame liberal salon writers for dumbing down the nation!
Leftist. LEFTIST. Not “liberal”. Liberal implies greater tolerance, in fact acceptance, of differing ideas. They are not.
Actually what’s going on is that Amanda has reached the age where males don’t look at her anymore. Some women complain about feeling invisible. She blames Trump and MAGA for her getting old and flabby.
I think she means ‘out loud’?..................
I prefer “LEFTARD” and TDS
That’s a horse faced man, baby!
Yeah, MAGA guys running amok in NYC....................
