Earlier this week, rapper and Bernie fan Killer Mike was pummeled and shamed by Hillary supporters over supposedly “sexist” remarks he made at Morehouse College. Except his remarks weren’t sexist. Not even a little bit. And not only that, but he was quoting someone else (a woman, incidentally).
Well, anyway, Heather Wilhelm wrote a piece for National Review in which she defended Killer Mike and smacked down the social justice warriors who cried sexist wolf:
.@KillerMike: “A uterus doesn’t qualify you to be president.”
Cue #SJW freakout. https://t.co/aLhUSBmu4u pic.twitter.com/fC19mwnL48

And then — and this is where things got really problematic — Killer Mike retweeted NRO:
Let’s just say that some liberals didn’t like that:

And when someone like @KillerMike with >200K followers tweets a link to NRO, he’s putting lots of money in their pocket @JM_Ashby @geejayeff

@KillerMike Be careful of RT'ing @NRO; they are NOT Sanders supporters but wingnuts using you for *their* agenda.

@KillerMike Uh.. this was a Hillary camp, BS freakout. Don't let @NRO pat you on the back, Mike – they got a knife in the other hand…
