New York Times Editorial Board member Mara Gay recently interviewed New York City mayoral candidates, and she got some of them to say some pretty interesting things.
Read through those NYC mayoral interview transcripts and it was all super-interesting but also @MaraGay is great.

Yeah, Mara Gay is great, all right. So great that when she interviewed Andrew Yang, she asked him why he’s sat down with someone like Dave Rubin, “who regularly hosts white supremacists”:

When we think of white supremacist sympathizers, Dave Rubin’s name isn’t one of those that jumps to mind.
Automating fast food and talking to me?! Can you paste his response?

Pssst, Andrew! It’s OK to tell Mara Gay she’s full of crap.
Because, you know, she is.
Hi @MaraGay. Can you name a few white supremacists I’ve had on my show? Like legit white supremacists, not just people you don’t like so you call them that.
Also the show is called “The Rubin Report.”
I look forward to the apology and retraction. Thanks… https://t.co/5rSFIc4pCY

“Regularly” is quite a charge there, @MaraGay. Also I wrote a New York Times best selling books defending liberalism. Shall I send you a copy?

I’ve reached out to @AndrewYang privately and my team is reaching out to his people regarding his response. I’ll address all of this on the show later today as well. https://t.co/uyDew28CrM

Ah, yes. A Mara Gay classic! Her understanding of white supremacists is right up there with her grasp on math.
Ok, ending my Twitter day the way it started, with a reminder that The NY Times both libeled me and got the name of my show wrong today.
No correction, no apology from Alt-Write “journalist” @maragay.
More fun tomorrow! 🤪🤪🤪 https://t.co/rmZjm2rHwK

Oh well. It’s not like there was ever a chance of Mara Gay apologizing.
At least Dave knows how to find the silver lining:
Won’t bother tweeting about this again because everyone knows NY Times is trash, but just wanna thank @MaraGay for our biggest one day growth in The Rubin Report community. Do me a favor get a hit piece ready for when my next book is NYT best seller, too!https://t.co/gs1j9axCC4 https://t.co/rmZjm2rHwK
