I’ve been thinking about all the lessons flowing out of the Covington Catholic story, and there are lots of them to follow.
The NR part would be important if NR were still important, but it hasn’t been for years.
There is one important point to be made, though.
To react as they did, to a “story” which amounted to an unsupported smear, so fast and so viciously - you have to have already classified the (unknown to you) subjects of the smear as “enemy”.
THAT is the only part of the NR story that’s in any sense important. White Christian children who go to Catholic school and who oppose abortion are, to Rich Lowry, David French, Jonah Goldberg, and the rest, “enemy”. Born guilty, they are.
And you are, too.
What a joke those you mentioned and others are. Trump exposes them as slime, they loose their platforms, and have to find jobs for the lame stream media while the Donald really does things they only talked about. Good riddance.
