Calling this a "gaffe" is the #BrokenTimes' way to dismiss and forgive the right-wing defense of a white supremacist. Credulity in the excuse of racism is racism.

#BrokenTimes just asking coy questions.

A Two-Headed Coin That Always Comes Up ‘Trump’
Would a proposed coin featuring the president on both sides commemorate America’s founding, or undercut its founding principles?

The #BrokenTimes' love of the mythical center and hate of the left: "Zohran Mamdani’s victory in New York does not demonstrate the viability of progressive candidates outside of a few big cities and coastal states."

The #BrokenTimes still has it out for Mamdani. Where does that link to "observers'" criticism lead? To Fox News quoting Van Jones. FFS. He won, A.G. You lose...

An Emboldened Mamdani Sheds Conciliatory Tone

The interview on Wednesday echoed Mr. Mamdani’s fiery victory speech on Tuesday evening, which took a more confrontational and at times boastful tone. The address was criticized by some observers as a “character switch” from his more congenial attitude during the campaign.

Our Brigadoon Daily wakes at last to *ask* whether we are in an autocracy. The #BrokenTimes Editorial Board says we are *starting* there. No, we are there: fallen into fascism, our press having failed us, waking up too late.

The #BrokenTimes is engaging in outright red-baiting and joining the right-wing vendetta against both Mamdani and university education in this Jeremy Peters special exposing "leftist dogma" at Bowdoin. 1/

What Zohran Mamdani Learned as an Africana Studies Major at Bowdoin
The mayoral candidate has said his education was formative. But critics say that his degree exemplifies how colleges steep students in leftist dogma.

OMG: students discussing critical race theory and engaging in activism in college. I'm feeling faint. The reactionary #BrokenTimes hides behind a "charged debate." It's not Peters who calls college a "feckless workshop for leftist political ideology." It's "critics."

Mr. Mamdani graduated in 2014 from Bowdoin College, in Brunswick, Maine, with a bachelor’s degree in Africana studies. And his experience there — readings of critical race theorists in the classroom and activism for left-wing causes on campus — is emblematic of the highly charged debate over what is taught in American universities.

Critics say the growth of these programs, which aim to teach about historical events from the perspective of marginalized and oppressed groups, has turned colleges into feckless workshops for leftist political orthodoxy.
