‘Protect Sarah Jeong’: Journalists, Pundits Defend NYTimes Writer

Various verified Twitter personalities coalesced to defend Sarah Jeong — the New York Times‘s latest hire — on Thursday following recent circulation of tweets in which she derided whites.

The New York Times issued the following statement:

"We hired Sarah Jeong because of the exceptional work she has done covering the internet and technology at a range of respected publications..."

Assorted Twitterati with blue check mark profiles offered defenses of — and deflections away from — Jeong’s derision of whites.

The Daily Beast’s Ken Klippenstein alluded to the New York Times’s recent hiring of Bret Stephens, indirectly referring to Stephen as “an unabashed climate denier”:

"[calculating how many thousands of times worse it is to hire an unabashed climate denier *in 2017* than Sarah Jeong]"

The New Yorker‘s Helen Rosner disparaged unspecified “motherf*****s” as inferior to Jeong:

"Sarah Jeong will outwrite, outthink, and outlast all you motherf****rs but good luck being fragile racist misogynists"

It has become more than obvious but a matter of fact, look at the case of the white man attacked on the bus, if you are white, if you are Christian you can not be the victim of any form of racism or hate crime. Just like certain liberals in DC, these groups are exempt from any laws covering certain actions!!
