    That was an utter b***h slap to all extreme liberal idiots including, Democrats, RINOs, ET trolls. Adolph Hitler started by taking peoples rights, their guns, their ability to resist. Then, he had them put to death. They are all liars and nothing good can ever come out of those lies!

    1619 Project's Nikole Hannah-Jones called 'hypocrite' for bashing 'inconvenient facts'
    ‘Self awareness is rare on the left,’ one critic said

    New York Times Magazine reporter Nikole Hannah-Jones was called out Thursday for claiming there is no need to "leave out context and inconvenient facts" from a strong argument when critics pointed out she did exactly that with her controversial 1619 Project.

    "If your argument is strong, there is no need to leave out context and inconvenient facts. To do so demonstrates the weakness of the argument and a lack of ethics," Hannah-Jones tweeted.

    Accuracy in Media shot back, "Isn’t this what your 1619 Project does?"

    Hannah-Jones, who goes by Ida Bae Wells on Twitter, won a Pulitzer Prize for commentary last year for the divisive 1619 Project that aimed to "reframe the country's history" by saying the country's legacy of slavery underpins every facet of American life. The project was praised by the left while also drawing scrutiny over alleged inaccuracies.

    Freelance journalist Drew Holden tweeted an image of Hannah-Jones’ tweet alongside a Heritage Foundation article headlined, "New York Times Quietly Edits ‘1619 Project’ After Conservative Pushback."



    The article from Sept. 2020 reported that the Times changed the online version of Hannah-Jones’ project after pushback from the right.

    "Sections of the online publication were scrubbed for controversial language without even an editor’s note to explain the changes. The edits focus mainly on the thesis that America’s true founding was August 1619, marking the arrival of the first slaves in present-day Virginia," the Heritage Foundation reported.

    Five academic historians even signed a letter claiming The 1619 Project got several elements of history wrong, including a claim that the Revolutionary War was fought to preserve slavery.

    "Your tweet of the week," Fox News contributor Joe Concha wrote when sharing Holden’s criticism of Hannah-Jones.

    Many others took to Twitter with thoughts on Hannah-Jones’ tweet:

    Remember when Trump passed the CARES act last year that let businesses take on forgivable loans and you said fuck all about it? this, this is a drop in an ocean by comparison

    Do you fail to recall all the times I pointed out all the fraud in this CARES program. Or is your memory that short.

    The intent of the CARES program was to allow businesses and residents to pay their bills. The intent was not to tell people to withhold their payments so the electric company, internet provider, and water authority go bankrupt.

    But a communist like Tlaib does not really understand the difference. She believes everything should be "free" and people should have no personal responsibility.

    If that was "the intent", they wouldn't have made them forgivable. Why is the business "intent" more altruistic than the average citizen? Link to you opposing forgivable loans?

    As far as I can tell (not clicking) she's saying cancel current utilities debt, not cancel future debt.

    Do the words "Paycheck Protection" mean anything to you. There were a limited number of ways to make portions of these loans forgivable. The majority of the forgivable funds were used to pay employees so they could pay their own bills to the electric company, internet provider, water authority, and landlord.
