You are reading the twitter thread incorrectly.Peterson did indeed say Kavanaugh should step down in reply to a tweet from Weinstein. It was without sarcasm because he retweeted himself, posting 4 hours later, finessing his opinion.

Jordan B Peterson

Jordan B Peterson Retweeted Jordan B Peterson I'm not certain that is the right move. It's very complex. But he would have his name cleared, and a figure who might be less divisive might be put forward.

I'm shocked at Peterson's naivety. It's not complex. Kavanaugh is dealing with bullies who are among the most powerful in the country. Stepping down will never "clear" his name. They will never admit they are/were wrong. And anyone Trump puts up, who is conservative, will be deemed divisive.

This Canadian psych professor... is elitist, pompous, and should know his place before ‘advising’ someone (Kavanaugh) who, by Mr. Peterson’s own hoity toity standards, is superior and out-accomplishes him in every way...whether academically or otherwise.

Mr. Peterson also doesn’t know what it means be be dragged through the mud in battle of epic culture-shifting scale —to be a David against Goliath for your convictions the way Kavanaugh has been. Is Peterson a Christian or an agnostic? I would not be surprised if the latter.

Times like these show where the lines between people really fall.

Stupid CANADIAN PROFS should NEVER attempt to pompously state moronic crap about a subject they neither understand nor know anything at all about.

Agreed. Especially regarding people more highly educated and accomplished than they.

EXACTLY SO!

From what I know, he has a rather large, young audience here in the USA and he just screwed the pooch, any way you care to look at it. Either they all get angry with him, or they naively fall for this bovine excrement and THAT would be horrific!

Jordan Peterson is pretty sharp. Not saying he is right about everything, but he is very intelligent. Not sure why or if he really said this though.

Actually, if you read his posts, he’s serious. Very shocking.

It may not be the dumbest thing ever from Jordan Peterson , but it’s the dumbest thing I know of from him. He usually has more sense, usually much more sense.

Yeah, he really said it. Several of his followers disagree.

yeah, most shameful thing i ever saw him say.

How is resigning supposed to clear his name.
Every leftist publication will say he resigned in shame and disgrace, he must have been guilty.
It makes no sense

and Patrick Buchanan isn't a conservative
and Ann Coulter isn't a conservative
and Peggy Noonan isn't a conservative...

These people really need to consult with you about how they should think before going public!

Does not sound like Peterson. If he really seriously said that, I will have to reconsider how I feel about him.

Hard to believe this is Peterson, a person that has suffered from being branded as “alt right” from the left.

If he did make this remark I attribute it to... I’m not sure what? Possibly that being with Brett Weinstien (a loser of the left) his liberal side, his liberal leaning, just took control of him. Peterson believes that we are not always in control and psychic forces can dominate us. You can see this when on Bill Maher’s show he inadvertently laughed at a stupid joke about Trump — he was unconsciously following Maher. Peterson is an avowed liberal who has been given a break by conservatives but, in someways, I don’t know how much he appreciates that. He is slammed in the liberal press, but I think that is the challenge or standard of success for him: being accepted in the liberal press. Psychologically you want what you don’t have, i.e., Peterson wants liberal recognition.

He has also made some glowing remarks about a Democrat video and it just shows how little he knows what the Democratic party has become. Again, it is some liberal demon in him or some pull from his nostalgic liberal past (NDP) that he wants to visit or revisit.

I hope he comes to his senses...

Here is a rant from Owen Benjamin, a fan of Peterson who he once interviewed, and also a Stand Up Comic who just raked Jordan Peterson over the coals for advising Kavanaugh to step down after confirmation. He says it is so hypocritical of Peterson to say this, when he rose to fame by NOT doing what he is advocating Kavanaugh do...https://www.bitchute.com/video/hIgu0F7VhQE/

Welcome, although I should have prefaced my previous post with NSFW!(language)

Ah, the lost art of sarcasm. JP is poking fun at Dems, IMO. Getting Kavanaugh to step down is all they have - a losing issue, but they are too dim to see it. He is toying with Libs
