Jonah Goldberg has been one of the most respected and reasonable voices in conservative media for many, many years, and especially since Trump won. Which is why this ‘gotcha’ attempt by Jessica Shortall (the ghost lady or whatever) seems like such a strange trolling attempt.
It’s not like Jonah has ever hopped on the ol’ Trump Train:

Why start crap with Jonah?
It makes NO sense.
Jonah was good enough to respond:
There’s no contradiction here nor have my views on impeachment or Trump changed over three years. Please explain what point you think you’re making. https://t.co/SHnFM42rFc

He even said please.
As we said, one of the more reasoned voices out there. Many people would have either ignored her or said something far less polite …
It was me wondering whether your (deserved) criticism of loyalty tests has somehow mistakenly led to the current situation in which you use your platform to avoid taking any position at all, I guess in an attempt to be on the not-wrong side no matter how it plays out.

Huh?
We hate to break it to Jessica, but if you’re going to try and dunk on someone like Jonah you have got to bring your A-game.
And this was definitely NOT that.
And, in all honesty, you're 100% wrong and being unfair to me. As I say in that column, nobody likes my position. And if you had the slightest inkling of what I've endured for 3 years, you wouldn't insinuate I'm merely a maneuverer just looking to be "not-wrong."

Wanna bet she just read the headlines and not the actual articles?
Tsk tsk.
That would require the poster to have read more than a headline

Winner winner chicken dinner.
Even based on the headlines, I got nothing.

So it’s not just us … shew!
Reading the comments here. Pure insanity! They are also a microcosm of the state of politics in todays world. YUK. Just keep doing you Jonah. I disagree, at times, with you but isn't that what life is all about?
