@SuperSmashjo @B17Fortres @KyleKulinski You can certainly argue it's implied by the framing, but they don't explicitly say that. Either way, you've shifted the goal post pretty wildly away from what the original post claims, which is false on multiple levels.

@cannot_stop_ish @B17Fortres @KyleKulinski Their endorsement was "vote against Mamdani" which anyone with a brain can infer that meant vote Cuomo, since he was the only other viable candidate in the primary

@JackInacker "Lemmie get this straight" is almost always a good signal that the commentator does not, in fact, have things straight.

So lemmie get this straight: Graham Platner wrote sexual texts to consenting women, *3 years* before he was a candidate, realized he fucked up, was honest about it, apologized to his wife, and then went to marriage counseling? This is why y’all are big mad?

@Timodc @glukianoff A straw man characterization, followed by a non-sequitur: “well, you should see the things that people say about me, a person whose job is to get into political fights online.”

Hey Tim, I’m happy to be an ally on free speech issues. But I literally wrote a book about cancel culture, and I’m not going to participate in the collective amnesia surrounding what happened between 2014 and 2024. We can debate causes, consequences, scope, and definitions. What we can’t honestly do is pretend it never happened. a.co/d/0byOvETN

“unpersoned” but still posting. The great awokenings very own Lazurus.

@Brendan_F_Wendt @CathyYoung63 @glukianoff Differentiating angst over Biden’s mental decline from political criticism is a bit too precious for my taste. But it's not defending or excusing Trump. Part of Kat’s point in this exchange is that calling insufficiently anti-Trump commentary Trump apologia is silly.

Democrats are now attacking @grahamformaine with no shame. Same Democrats who told us to "vote blue, no matter who" when it was to back establishment candidates are now stabbing Platner in the back. Why? Guys like @CoryBooker 100% work for Israel. That's who is organizing this.

@Timodc @glukianoff I mean, labeling someone a predator and putting them on a list of "unsafe" individuals because of a relatively minor political disagreement seems like it fits the Orwellian definition of "unperson" pretty well, within that specific context.

who are you arguing with? all of that can be true in parallel to the absurd victim culture that developed around this where people with massive audiences for their work use ludicrous hyperbole like “unpersoned” to describe what happened. I got dogpiled unfairly during this era! i was there. i just don’t cry about it publicly all the time for seal claps.

@glukianoff I agree that illiberal leftism shouldn't be minimized. But there are plenty of people who were canceled far worse than Kat who haven't gone Trump apologists

@WSJ She found the texts in 2025, but the messages themselves were from before their marriage. You guys conveniently left that out.

@JeremyTColes @dilanesper @Cincinnatus56 I will just repeat, we’d be a way healthier society if we stopped caring about our politicians sex lives. It’s a bizarre obsession which is a holdover from our puritan past and which most of the world does not share with us.

When Platner beats Collins in November a lot of people are going to forget they spent the close of May tweeting prudish neo-Victorian takes about sex. Just like all the people who expressed shock at blowjobs in 1998.

@ZaidJilani He was a war veteran and as a young medical student in the 90s he volunteered for a nonprofit that had ties to al-Qaeda. He also had a direct relationship with Abdel-Rahman. All of those things are true. Not clear why Frum would have to retract a true statement.

If Jeffrey Goldberg had any integrity he would demand Frum, his employee, retract this claim that a U.S. war veteran who saved Tammy Duckworths life is tied to Al Qaida. But if a chicken had shoes maybe it could moonwalk.

@ZaidJilani Certainly not before their relationship. If that were true, his wife would have said so in her video. Instead, she made vague statements about marital problems and counseling.
