For those of you just tuning in from home, the New York Times hired, then fired and then rehired a journalist who just happened to praise Hitler. No biggie, right? After all the Times had no problem with the hateful to the point of disturbed Sarah Jeong. So what's a little genocide between friends?
Megyn Kelly and Emily Zanotti provide the background.
The NYT would like you to know that they spoke to their Hitler-praising reporter and he understood their concerns. pic.twitter.com/RgGqNGInHd

Just in case you’re thinking, nah … no way … maybe the reporter is being misinterpreted… he literally posted “How great you are, Hitler” in 2012 and then doubled down a few years ago. https://t.co/LkSFL4mjLg

We now live in a time where you can attack people fighting child trafficking and support brutal terrorism and it's all good if you're sufficiently progressive, so we're not too surprised. Besides, the New York Times is really The Nation but for people who have a home in the Hamptons.
The thing about this absurd era, is that every absurdity comes out ripe and ready for mockery. And who better than the Iowahawk, David Burge to handle it.
They sent him to HR for the standard 15 minute DEI PowerPoint "don't praise Hitler on Facebook" training session and he scored 78% on the quiz, so it's all good now https://t.co/wJrVzDq3GO

If you work at a big company you know exactly what he's talking about.
But Tom Cotton is a line too far.

Right, because unlike Hitler, Cotton is a real Nazi.
We asked him to refrain from “really handing it to Hitler” while on the clock and he said ok.

LOL! No, literal LOL!
“Now what do you think of Hitler?”

“Hitler’s bad, mmmkay?”
“Welcome aboard!”
Hey, we got standards!

This is the modern dilemma for today's ultra-progressive "thinkers".
Some of y'all are very funny. Keep it up!
