NextImg:Bari Weiss’ mother vowed to go on ‘sex strike’ if her husband voted for Trump

Journalist Bari Weiss’ mother threatened to withhold sex from her father if he voted for Donald Trump in 2016, according to a report.

Weiss is the daughter of Lou and Amy Weiss, who founded a Pittsburgh-based flooring and furniture company called “Weisslines.”

Faced with the prospect of a cold war in the bedroom, Lou Weiss eventually decided against voting for Trump.

Instead, he cast a write-in ballot for his wife of more than four decades.

“She threatened to go on a sex strike,” Lou Weiss told the Pittsburgh Jewish Chronicle in 2020.

The Weisses, residents of Pittsburgh’s predominantly Jewish neighborhood of Squirrel Hill, have been married for 43 years despite their political differences.

While Lou Weiss, whose op-eds have appeared in The Wall Street Journal, described himself as a “bleeding heart conservative,” Amy Weiss counted herself as a “very moderate liberal Democrat.”

Despite his conservative leanings, Lou Weiss told the Pittsburgh Jewish Chronicle that he was smitten with high school sweetheart Amy from the start.

“She is so good looking that she could have been Pol Pot’s daughter and I would have asked her to marry me,” he joked.

Their daughter has been a political chameleon and was one of several journalists who were given access to Twitter’s internal archives that shed light on the company’s content moderation policies before it was purchased by Elon Musk.

Bari Weiss, 38, who voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Joe Biden in 2020, launched a new digital news outlet called The Free Press this past December.

Weiss told Financial Times that she voted for Mitt Romney in 2012 to protest Barack Obama’s foreign policy.

In 2020, Weiss had a public falling out with The New York Times, where she worked for three years.

She said she was “politically independent.”

“I would say . . . I’m a classical liberal, but all of these labels have been sapped of their meaning,” Weiss told FT.

“I think we’re just living through a tremendous political realignment.”

The former New York Times opinion page editor who had a falling out with the Gray Lady that prompted her to quit in 2020 told Financial Times that she hopes the outlet will embody “honesty and fearlessness, integrity, doggedness — all of the things that old-school journalism was meant to be about.”

She said the Times had surrendered to pressure from progressive critics on Twitter who had become the paper’s “ultimate editor.”

“Twitter is not on the masthead of The New York Times. But Twitter has become its ultimate editor,” she wrote in a resignation letter that she posted on her web site.

In her Twitter Files expose, she wrote that the social media site maintained “secret blacklists” whereby the company throttled tweets that it did not like, including those by Stanford School of Medicine Prof. Dr. Jay Bhatacharya, an opponent of COVID lockdowns.
