We’ve seen some awful takes this year, but this take from The New Republic has to be right up there with the worst:

Suffice to say that tweet is getting a bipartisan hammering:
This is disgusting.

Who wrote this garbage

What a disgusting, vile, sexist headline. Way to victim shame. https://t.co/J7wtuxpTY9

Even by the new @newrepublic standards, this is just ghastly. https://t.co/vedMc8cpl4

Who on earth would think this tweet is OK? https://t.co/5Xr4g0F61i

I think everyone should be able to agree that this is an absolutely outrageous tweet. https://t.co/WsWzU8f0Ta

It seems that yes, everybody does agree.
Trust me, there is a way to write a critical piece about Joni Enst without doing this. Ugh. https://t.co/GB9r0NF1Y1

Yeah, let's not do this. https://t.co/aXpq5R88yI

I’m as liberal as they come and I agree with every criticism being posted above. Just a terrible piece here.

This is poisonous garbage. If this were put out by National Review or Washington Examiner against a female Democrat, @JakeTapper, @BrianStelter, @OliverDarcy, @BriKeilarCNN, @DanaBashCNN, @JohnKingCNN, @JoyAnnReid, @MorningMika, and all the rest would be having multiple segments. https://t.co/QHIRqwcZSu

It's been hours and this abomination still hasn't been deleted and an apology/firing issued?
— Mike Stankiewicz (@MikeStankiewic_) September 17, 2020
Things one absolutely should not do in a tweet: draw a comparison between an actual abusive situation the subject of your piece survived and … pretty much anything else. https://t.co/HILCj0PJHd

I know I'm not adding anything by making this statement, but just to join the chorus:
This is deeply inappropriate. https://t.co/bedTQvxyN2
— Ellen Carmichael (@ellencarmichael) September 17, 2020
This is absolutely repulsive. The tweet & article. https://t.co/S9631Siliv
— Lauren Luxenburg (@LaurenC_Lux) September 17, 2020

— jesse (@N3on_Online) September 17, 2020
This is shameful. https://t.co/fRvAQBrBwL

This is disgusting. Have some decency and delete this trash. https://t.co/5wXy65jMen
