We can give far-Left author and Daily Beast columinst Wajahat Ali props for this much: when he gets it wrong, he gets it really wrong.
And he always gets it wrong.
We’re assuming that this particular hot take has to do with the Buffalo shooting and all the finger-pointing at Republicans like Elise Stefanik and at Fox News about pushing “Great Replacement Theory.”
Birth of a Nation would crush it at the box office if it was remade in 2022.

Joe Biden’s probably kicking himself for not coming up with that one first. Oh well. Live and learn!
But we digress.
That “Birth of a Nation” tweet sure is something.
Sad but true 😖

It’s sad, but it’s not true. Not even remotely.
Also, aside from being horribly racist, “Birth of a Nation” just straight-up sucked. It was just an awful, awful movie. Though it did have perhaps its biggest fan in Democratic President Woodrow Wilson, so there’s that.
This is so accurate it hurts the soul. https://t.co/XVxu7RjZfE

It’s so inaccurate, it hurts the brain.
Same goes for this additional take from Wajahat, actually, which he gifted us with unnoticed a couple of days ago:
All Republicans have to do is say they renounce the white supremacist replacement theory and condemn it.
And they can't.
Tells you everything about the modern GOP. What more do you need to see?

All Wajahat Ali has to do when he claims that Republicans endorse or are at least cool with racist “Great Replacement Theory” is give us evidence to support his assertion. And he can’t.
Tells us everything about Wajahat Ali. What more do we need to see?
@WajahatAli: "All Republicans have to do is denounce the words I've put in their mouths." https://t.co/3n5gAtD5tA

Shut up, Wajahat.
