President Trump today condemned “all types of racism and acts of violence.†That’s a good thing. However, the Trump-hating Washington Post seized on the occasion to condemn Trump for alleged “racially tinged†statements.
“Racially tinged†is a weasel phrase. A statement is either racist or it isn’t. When the statement pertains to race but isn’t racist, those obsessed with race or, in this case, Trump-hatred call it “racially tinged.†It’s the kind of intellectually dishonest move we’ve come to expect from the Trump resisting Washington Post — here, Anne Gearan, Seung Min Kim, and Josh Dawsey.
(Wouldn’t it be nice if once and while these stories had a single author? Then we would know who, precisely, is writing so dishonestly. Why does it take three people to write such stories? By now, this kind of reflexively anti-Trump drivel should almost write itself.)
