Right-wing writer and commentator Bethany Mandel found herself in a sticky situation when Briahna Joy Gray, National Press Secretary for the Bernie Sanders 2020 presidential campaign, asked her to define the term “woke” during an interview. (You might remember Mandel as the “Grandma Killer” from 2020.)
On “Rising,” a web series presented by The Hill, Mandel was once again blaming all of the world’s problems on this term that originated with the Black community only to become the new “politically correct” for conservatives, but didn’t seem to know what it meant. Gray took the opportunity to press her on it, and the results were spectacular.
“I think this is a broad concern that a lot of folks have a problem does also recreate this kind of victim paradigm, where you have people saying we’re being under attack by the left instead of kind of coming together and trying to resolve what I think is a broadly understood phenomenon,” Mandel rambled.
“This is sort of a woke reimagining that is very, very, very far left,” she claimed. “Only seven percent of Americans consider themselves very liberal and probably fewer of them consider themselves to be woke.”
“What does that mean to you? Would you mind defining woke?” asked Gray. “It’s come up a couple of times. I just want to make sure we’re on the same page.”
