OPEN THREAD: Monday, Monday.
WAPO EDITOR: I Got Fired Over Charlie Kirk.
[Karen] Attiah sources this from an article rushed out by The Guardian less than 24 hours after Kirk’s death that attempted to argue sotto voce that Kirk had it coming. Even if one grants the Guardian the presumption that they took his words in context, Attiah changed the quote the Guardian provided at the link she used as a reference. This is the quote that the Guardian allegedly pulled from Kirk’s show in July 2023:
If we would have said that Joy Reid and Michelle Obama and Sheila Jackson Lee and Ketanji Brown Jackson were affirmative action picks, we would have been called racists. Now they’re coming out and they’re saying it for us … You do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously. You had to go steal a white person’s slot to go be taken somewhat seriously.
Note that the quote doesn’t include the phrase “black women” at all. Kirk referenced four specific black women in this criticism, arguing that their own words made them look like affirmative-action charity cases. The “you” in this case refers to the four women he named. Attiah rewrote this quote to make it sound as though Kirk was talking about all black women.
That is journalistic fraud. And that is likely why the Post just handed Attiah her walking papers. She lied to readers, and did so to imply that Charlie Kirk had it coming. She used quotation marks to sell her fraud, knowing damned well that quotation marks mean something to readers, and that falsely representing a quote in that manner is corrupt.
More here: “The real question is how she kept her job this long. While I’m glad the Post finally took action, it is absurd that Attiah was kept on the payroll for years on end, even as she excused violence against her perceived political opponents and promoted the ideas of Islamic terrorists. Lastly, lest anyone believe Attiah was a free speech absolutist, she lobbied to get the editor fired who published Tom Cotton’s 2020 op-ed suggesting the use of the military to quell widespread, left-wing riots.”
Attiah was pro October 7th: WaPo Columnist Celebrates Anti-Jew Terrorism As Exactly What ‘Decolonization’ Means.
And long before she cheerfully smeared Charlie Kirk as a crypto-racist, Attiah was doing the same thing to her fellow leftist, Nancy Pelosi, in 2019:
UPDATE:

The letter specifically mentions her postings about “white men” violating Washington Post policy.

Also, since we didn’t mention it in the original post, what’s the message she’s sending in her bon voyage photo?
MARK STEYN: The War on Reality.
I see Rahm Emanuel is complaining that “Democrats have lost touch with Roosevelt, Johnson and Truman“. You would have thought the easiest way to get back on the road to the little haberdasher’s would be to abandon the transanity. As Eva Vlaardingerbroek said on The Mark Steyn Show way back when, in her experience it’s the issue on which even otherwise doctrinaire liberals are a bit queasy – and that’s before the trannies open fire.
And yet the left is not walking back the transanity. Rather, they have no desire to give it up. As for the right, a decade or more back, when I used to bring this up on Rush, I used to get callers dialling in to denounce me for wasting their time: “This isn’t anything important, Steyn. Why don’t you try talking about the stuff that matters – like whether John Kasich or Phil Gramm is two points up in Iowa?”
Because while you’re having wet dreams about Lamar Alexander in his Brooks Brothers plaid shirt, the left is calling madness to the regeneration of the world. Because, while you’re playing small ball, they play humungous supertrannifragalistic balls. So now, a half-century ahead of schedule, they’ve just taken out one of the few figures on the right who genuinely connected with the young. The idea that “gender” is just something randomly “assigned at birth” with the maternity-ward matron wandering around passing out “internal” and “external genitalia” from an Obamacare grab-bag is an 80/20 issue. But back in my Rush days it was a 95/5 issue – and the current twenty per cent is everyone who matters: teachers, doctors, media, mainline “churches”, Supreme Court judges…

THE STRAWMEN COMETH:
Somebody reminded me of a useful concept some of my newer readers don't know about, and it correlates to what the left has been doing all week to Charlie Kirk.
About ten years ago my fans came up with "Straw Larry". Whenever a Caring Liberal would blunder in to scream at us…

AXIOS: How Charlie Kirk’s killing sparked unfounded theories about Groypers.
What are Groypers?
According to Know Your Meme, “Groyper” refers to a variation of Pepe the Frog, a meme that the alt-right has co-opted.
- The meme gained traction online on platforms like fringe-right site 4chan in 2017, according to the Anti-Defamation League, and was adopted by alt-right followers.
- They describe themselves as Christian nationalists, oppose feminism and LGBTQ+ rights and believe the U.S. should close its borders.
Groypers became associated in 2019 with Fuentes, an underground podcaster labeled a “white supremacist” by the FBI.
-
Fuentes, who once dined with President Trump and rapper Ye at Mar-a-Lago, has since turned against the president.
-
He was previously banned from Twitter (both in the pre- and post-Elon Musk era) before Musk announced in May of last year that he would reinstate Fuentes’ account on X.
Iowahawk takes the implication that Kirk’s assassin was a Groyper to its absurd conclusion:

TRUE:
Repeat: the answer isn’t “pick up the microphone that Charlie Kirk was holding.” The answer is to use the full authority and force of the law to restore conditions in which people can speak without fearing for their lives. https://t.co/AE7lweRteY
