IT’S PROBLEMATIC BECAUSE IT’S “WHITENESS MANIFEST.” Kamala Harris Staffer Berates BuzzFeed Editor by Text Over ‘Problematic’ Joke Tweet. Mediaite changed the headline, which was about the staffer “whining,” to “berates” — you can still see the original in the URL — but the original seems more accurate. Also, you should never hire a staffer who sends no-capitalization messages.
The editor’s (it’s Ben Smith) response was, basically, sod off, swampy: “Do you seriously not have real problems? This text makes me think you are totally, totally unready for an actual presidential campaign.”
