Despite Senate staffer Tara Reid’s sexual assault allegation
against him, The Nation columnist Katha Pollitt recently averred, “I would
vote for Joe Biden if he boiled babies and ate them. He wasn’t my candidate but
taking
back the White House is that important.” Pollitt added, “I cannot believe
that a rational person can grasp the disaster that is Donald Trump and
withhold their support from Biden because of Tara Reade. I would say this even
if I had no problems with Reade’s account.”
In one sense,
this isn’t surprising, given progressives views on abortion. It’s rather
consistent, really. On the other hand, it’s despicable and monstrous, the more
so because she wasn’t “kidding.” To leftists, the end justifies the means, as
long as it is their end. In this case, taking back the White House from the
Orange Man. If her guy happens to be a serial sexual harasser—and cannibal—it’s
all good if he can take down a president she deems misogynistic and racist.
Imagine if Trump
or any conservative had said of Brett Kavanaugh, “I don’t care if he did
assault her. In fact, I don’t care if he boiled babies/blacks/lesbians and ate
them, I’m voting for him anyway.” How would a “rational person” have viewed
that statement? Might it have generated more controversy amongst the mainstream
media?
