The war over the direction of the Democratic Party has broken out into a skirmish between coronavirus truthers and a presidential hopeful who made a concession to pandemic critics. Pete Buttigieg admitted that one of the biggest failures of Democrats before the 2024 election was the reticence to reopen schools sooner during the shutdown response to the coronavirus pandemic. Former Washington Post writer Taylor Lorenz responded by accusing him of "embracing far right eugenics" policies. 'Taylor Lorenz is every negative stereotype of professional class female millennials ...' The former transportation secretary was asked what he would have done differently if he were able to go back to 2020. "One, for the love of God, figure out a way to get the schools open sooner," Buttigieg responded on "The Bulwark Podcast.""We got very knee-jerk about this, and the costs were — not just politically, but in a profound way, I think, for a generation, the costs were profound," he continued, "and I think anybody who's involved, who was, by the way, obviously doing their best to deal with a crisis that killed a million Americans, but I think most people involved would like to be able to have found a way to safely get more schools open more quickly."Lorenz called him "disgusting" and said opening schools would have led to far more coronavirus deaths."Pete saying he would have 'opened the schools sooner' in 2020 aka killing MORE vulnerable ppl faster, sacrificing teachers and educators (and kids!) lives [sic] to force them back into unventilated buildings w no protections. Disgusting how Dems have fully embraced far right eugenics," she wrote. Many of her followers agreed and piled on with criticism. "He's giving this interview from the luxury of his own home, but he wants our kids packed into unventilated schools, subjecting them to repeat covid infections. What a hypocrite," responded one user. "It’s unforgivable, & these attitudes appear to be widespread," replied another. "As public officials quietly ensure their kids are protected, the rest of the kids are left behind." But others responded with mockery and ridicule against Lorenz for the absurd exaggeration. "LOL it’s crazy how she sounds mostly reasonable in interviews and podcasts and then goes legitimate crazytown in tweets," read one response. "There is absolutely nobody more emblematic of the left’s obliviousness and self-indulgence than @TaylorLorenz stay losing hag," said another detractor. "It's morbidly fascinating how Taylor Lorenz is every negative stereotype of professional class female millennials rolled into one woman," said another.

"Mediaite is the latest outlet that’s hired a far right writer (Isaac Schorr) who is absolutely obsessed with me to stalk my socials and write outrage stories about me," she wrote. "He takes every tweet I post and cuts all context to make a headline that will incite maximum hate toward me." She was most recently lambasted for expressing "joy" and apparent approval for the shooting death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson allegedly by Luigi Mangione. Like Blaze News?

When the WNBA’s Minnesota Lynx hosted the Connecticut Sun last week, Lynx forward Napheesa Collier decided to make a political statement in honor of the fifth anniversary of George Floyd’s fentanyl-fueled death in Minneapolis. “George was a father, a brother, and a son. And his life, like every life, held meaning,” Collier told the crowd. “His death exposed the holes that are still in our justice and criminal institutions today. His five-year anniversary reminds us that must continue the fight against criminal, racial, and social injustices. We can not stay silent.” Collier, of course, failed to include the crimes committed, jail terms served, or the fentanyl and methamphetamine found in Floyd’s system via autopsy. “She is celebrating and honoring St. George Floyd. Nine times arrested, armed robbery, using a gun on a pregnant woman, high on fentanyl, passing counterfeit $20 bills. The year before the death of St. George Floyd, he nearly died of a drug overdose while being arrested by police,” BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock says on “Fearless.” “We all know on May 25, 2020, St. George Floyd went off to heaven and now is just a martyr and a symbol of black American excellence. No one black has ever died in a more spectacular, courageous fashion than St. George Floyd, when he couldn’t breathe because he had swallowed enough fentanyl to kill Secretariat and Seabiscuit,” Whitlock continues. “You’re treating George Floyd, and honoring him, like he’s Jesus. Like his blood offers us salvation and grace,” he adds. And Whitlock believes Caitlin Clark’s two-week absence from the WNBA has something to do with the over-the-top racial idolatry on display. “Less people will be paying attention to the WNBA, so they can go back to complaining about their pay, complaining about the patriarchy, complaining about white people. They can go back to doing what they do without any pushback from us. They don’t hate Caitlin Clark; they hate her fans,” Whitlock says. “They hate our values,” he continues, adding, “They want to live in a bubble where they can do all their insane things without any pushback.” Want more from Jason Whitlock?To enjoy more fearless conversations at the crossroads of culture, faith, sports, and comedy with Jason Whitlock, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
