Rep. Wally Hudson is a Fatuous Bastard ™
For this (and as God is my witness, pinned) tweet, Wally wins a Fatuous Bastard™. For the record, Wally, John McWhorter is not a lefty. He and Glenn Loury are both snotty conservatives. Like you. They describe themselves as ‘heterodox.’
Update: Loury and McWorter endorsed the (painful clunker; I won’t call it a documentary) film The Fall of Minneapolis, produced by Liz Collin, when it came out, so you know where they head at the jump. Later, and after some pushback by Minnesotans, including me, they pulled back. But always go with the first draft; that’s where the heart is.
McWorter is or was a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, the same shop that incubated Pete Hegseth.
This is John McWhorter, a creditientialed, celebrated academic and columnist for the @nytimes.
Put simply, he’s the mainstream Left.
If you listen to this and still think this is a “both sides” problem, we’re done.
You’re to be defeated, not talked to or taken seriously. https://t.co/rYzBT2gxuX

The Fatuous Bastard™ aims to recognize and celebrate all the incels and other assorted misfits who were stuffed in lockers in high school and never got over it, the overweening, overcompensating pseudo-intellectual fools who mistake a thesaurus for thought, the basement dwellers whose fingers are as orange as their hero, the . . . well, you get the idea.
