LATER (19 Jan): according to Scott Adams, King didn’t wonder what’s wrong with White Supremacy. What he wondered was what’s wrong with “Western Civilisation”. Fair enough.
If true, that’s a very different thing indeed. Scott’s point is that the media has simply run with the wrong story and has kept running with it. If I’m not too lazy I might get around to checking it out. Though I must say that if it’s true, King hasn’t made much of an effort to correct the mistake.
In wake of House Republicans stripping Mr. King of his committee assignments, many are asking how he survived unpunished for so long.At least the Reps *did* criticise. And have done so every time a republican stepped out if line. Meantime where are the criticisms of Leftist extremism? Of the horrid anti-semitism of Louis Farrakhan and Al Sharpton. Nowhere.Louis the Jew-hater is unscathed. Rookie Congresswoman Tlaib has terrorist supporters at her swearing in. AOC dances with Al Sharpton, the repulsive anti-Semite and blatant racist.In short, the Right cleans house. The Left lets the dirt lie; at most, sweeps it under the carpet.
