The main person seeking her resignation was a major Democrat donor. The Jewish community generally votes Democrat. So labeling this as solely a right-wing campaign is denying the internal party struggle to deal with the issue and how this has created a fracture within the party. If we had had a group of right wingers trying to climb over the whitehouse fence and had to evacuate staff, if would have been on the news on repeat, but because it looks bad to the 90% Democrat leaning media, it’s not.

And yet here we are talking about here, and for days (weeks?) it was the only thing on the news. It was even on SNL which unsurprisingly tried to make Stefanik look like the but of the joke. My point is you seem to be pretending that this hasn't been the focal point of news for a while, when in fact it has.

  The point is that, all the old school media (including TFA) has been running cover for her and claiming the only bigotry that exists anywhere is within the right-wing and no one on the left harbors any hate, when we can clearly see a ton of virulent hatred of Jews, lots of examples of racism and prejudice and bigotry by many people within the current democrat party, within the progressive movement and among many organizations that identify as liberal or leftist. But it's all covered up or those making the claims are themselves accused of some sorta unfounded campaign of hate. Now we're being told that plagiarism is actually ok, it turns out that telling lies, doctoring results, passing off other's work as your own, etc is apparently ok and totally acceptable and was "always happening". It truly feels like we're fully enmeshed in some 1984 scenario with many words having their definitions totally changed, facts "updated", history rewritten, and just a general acceptance of mass gaslighting.
