You know there's trouble under that big Democratic tent when Never Trumper Jonah Goldberg of The Dispatch gets in a tussle with nepo-baby podcaster Hasan Piker, who's campaigned with Democratic Socialists like Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan and is famous for arguing that America deserved 9/11. Believe it or not, it all started when Goldberg posted an AI meme of his beloved dog, but Piker decided to jump in on the thread and accuse Goldberg of being "real scared" during an appearance on a CNN panel during which Goldberg apparently brought up the incident with Piker using a shock collar on his dog.
hey jonah, you seemed real scared about the changes taking place in american politics on that cnn panel buddy. is everything okay? https://t.co/SzCU5z4eLG

I’m not scared. I think you guys will fail because your ideas are stupid and very, very, old and will fail wherever put into practice. Price controls are older than Christianity, for instance. Your Mao schtick is moronic and takes advantage of your fans’ ignorance. I think you’re… https://t.co/RRWis4X7qU

The post continues:
… a cosplaying radical kid of privilege and apologist for murderers and terrorists. But you’re not scary dude. You’re a poseur. I think it’s hilarious you streamed my comments to your easily duped fans.
That's the Jonah Goldberg who wrote "Liberal Fascism" back in the day, not the current version who has helped with the extremist invasion of the Democratic Party.
Stop stop he's already dead!

Jonah, you almost sound like the old you!

Doesn't he, though?
He is exactly a privileged nepo baby frat boy pseudo predator lobbed into a convenient leftist position cosplaying a communist to appeal to a deranged group of young uneducated, rebellious, wannabe underdogs.

No integrity, no spine, no actual substance.

Highly privileged nepo kids like Hasan always always always easily dupe actually desperate kids into fighting their revolution for them. Tale as old as time.

Hasan's gravest sin yet may be causing me to agree with Jonah

Normal people don’t give a damn what Mao Zapdog over there has to say.

I can't believe CNN made Kasie Hunt apologize for you saying that Piker abuses his dog. 🤦♀️

We'd have to see that to believe it.
I did not have 'liking a Jonah Goldberg X post' on my bingo card today, but here we are.

It's kinda weird seeing Jonah finally confronting the real enemy instead of fellow Republicans.

We thought he deserved a shout-out for that.
