I like how this is all really starting to blow up in both Harvard and the ouster faction's faces, because it really was just a bunch of rich anti-woke assholes throwing a tantrum over something stupid in order to have one less black person in a position of authority.
Also the fact that the female worst version of Joe Lieberman, Elise Stefanik, is one of the ring leaders of this should have told everyone that this is just performative political bullshit based in racism rather than the antisemitism she's claiming.
I'm all for calling out antisemitism, but this wasn't it.
How is it blowing up in their faces? They got their scalp, they've shown they can get rid of anyone they don't like for bullshit reasons, and there's going to be no consequences to either Rufo or Bill Ackman.
The fact that it's all lies doesn't matter, it didn't matter when Rufo used misleading definitions of DEI or any of the other witch hunts he started. The mainstream media will just uncritically repeat what he says and go along with everything.
While all fair points, but when a guy like Bill Ackman is getting press he's losing, overall I'm just appreciative of any blowback coming their way.
Fuck Bill Ackman. Love that his wife is taking it on the chin as she should.
Eh, it's maybe a little bit funny to see how thin-skinned he is, but he's not going to lose any business over this, and he got everything he wanted. He won, and he's only pissed off that people on Twitter were mean to him about it.
Thank you for simplifying it. This was a slam dunk move for corporatists whose primary goal is divide and conquer. Mission accomplished!
