Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin is terrified. Actually, strike that. Rubin is now into utter, full-blown hysteria.
What Rubin fails to understand – and she is hardly alone in this in the “mainstream” leftist press – is that sheer, frenzied hysteria over the virus, on top of the systemic racism that is a hallmark of the adherents of the plantation mentality that gave birth to a Democratic Party with repeated on-the- record support for slavery, segregation, lynching, the Klan and now identity politics – the son of segregation – will exactly give political fuel to, as Jenkins says, those who are considering “voting for him, exactly because The Washington Post lies about him.”
In short? Rubin exemplifies exactly what is wrong with the American Left. They need the race card to win elections, and their media figures are so emotionally fragile in this pandemic that the virus has whipped them into an emotional frenzied panic that signals nothing more than a public emotional breakdown.
