Why Aren’t Notable White Women Journalists Publicly Supporting Their Black Counterparts?
Donald Trump verbally attacked WH correspondents April Ryan, Yamiche Alcindor and Abby Phillip
Remember that time when the woman who is paid to deliver packages of lies on behalf of her dishonorable boss, was forced to endure two minutes of public shaming at the White Correspondents’ Dinner that included the hilarious comparison to the villainous Aunt Lydia from The Handmaids Tale?
And then all hell broke loose in the close quarters of White feminism when the exceptional Michelle Wolf capped the brief skit with this:
“I actually really like Sarah. I think she’s very resourceful.” “She burns facts and then she uses that ash to create a perfect smoky eye. Maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s lies. It’s probably lies.”
For reasons that still boggle the mind, the day after was met with rage and rallying support from prominent media personalities like Morning Joe’s Mika Brzezinski, New York Times staple Maggie Haberman, and Andrea Mitchell of NBC News, among others — who were inconsolably livid at the stinging insults that supposedly labeled Sarah Sanders as ugly.
