Editor’s note: Here at Twitchy, we believe it’s important to own up to mistakes. We expect it of others and hold ourselves to the same standard. On that note, we would like to own up to misinterpreting Chait’s “white supremacist” tweet. It’s now clear that he was being sarcastic and mocking the Left’s penchant for crying “white supremacist” at every turn. We regret the error and apologize to Mr. Chait.

Jonathan Chait: Doing his part to get Donald Trump re-elected, one tweet at a time.
This essay defining white supremacy to include support for 1st Amendment proves my point about rhetorical slippage https://t.co/z0U4BhLfM7 pic.twitter.com/ViBVFezx8t

Speaking of slippage:
Not only are all conservatives white supremacists, anybody who thinks white supremacists have 1st Amendment rights is a white supremacist. https://t.co/wAEzx9bEgr

This take…..is not a good take.

To be fair, Jonathan Chait isn’t exactly known for his good takes. But still. This one is really something special.
Reductio ad absurdum at this level is not healthy in a democracy.

We’re not sure Jonathan’s healthy, either. Can you imagine what a wreck he’ll be when he realizes what a boon he is to Trump?
Please run with this. Have every democrat running for office parrot this. https://t.co/LoJ03sikTq
