Ro Khanna was having a great week. Everyone was feeding right into the publicity stunt he pulled by traveling to the West Bank and getting “detained” by Israelis. Ink was spilled in think-pieces, man-hours were spent on thorough “debunkings,” and Khanna got to fling all the slop he could in various Twitter fights. In the attention economy age, things were going perfectly to plan. Ro was dominating the conversation. There’s just one problem: it wasn’t enough for the people who it was meant to impress. After his trip, Khanna did an interview with the terrorist-friendly third-worldist outlet Drop Site News, seeking to capitalize on his momentum. There, he was confronted by journalist Jeremy Scahill.
