Salon's Amanda Marcotte likes to pretend that she is a feminist icon, but always keeps tripping over her own hypocrisy.
There is not a single issue that she doesn't try to make about sexual politics and how women are oppressed by toxic masculinity, yet she never once hesitates to attack women with vile smears if they don't think the way she does.
In other words, she's your typical leftist.
We might have hoped that she would display a modicum of decency in the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination and Erika Kirk's mourning for her husband, but that would have been a silly hope. Marcotte does not possess a modicum of decency. Not even a dram of it.
What? Girls Gone Wild?
We don't know what she is smoking, but we don't want any of it.
But here she pulls off the double smear. Not only is she lying about the purpose and content of Charlie's campus discussions, but she belittles the new head of Turning Point USA, calling Erika a weak woman who 'can't pull it off.'
For good measure, Marcotte doubled down on her 'mean girl' attack with a reply to her own tweet.
Yes, this is someone who has never listened to Charlie Kirk or Erika Kirk even once.
We're not going to waste your time with the contents of her trash article (you can read it here if you hate yourself). If you guessed that it was filled with lies about both of the Kirks, you would not be wrong. Marcotte cherry picks single examples of Charlie winning debates against ill-informed women in his college appearances, ignoring the thousands of times he also trounced ill-informed men.
Even more disgracefully, she totally mischaracterizes Erika's eulogy to her husband last weekend, calling it an example of the subjugation of women.
To cap it all off, Marcotte showed how much of a 'strong woman' she is by quickly turning off replies to her post after X users gave her a well-deserved ratio..
Stunning and brave.
Marcotte also blocks anyone on X who calls her out (including most of us here at Twitchy).
Deleting would have been the better option. For Marcotte and the entire horrid magazine known as Salon.
But she didn't turn off replies quite quickly enough.
We could provide a complete list, but our editors don't like it when our articles exceed 300,000 words.
We're guessing Marcotte gets that look a LOT.
As in, whenever she opens her mouth to speak.
We wish we were blissfully unaware of her existence.
But this poster is accurate. There is no point in breaking down her article. It is one lie after another, from beginning to end, followed by vicious ad hominem attacks and a heaping dose of misogyny.
We're beginning to think that whole 'Handmaid's Tale' trope that they incessantly keep trotting out is more of a fetish than it is a warning.
Exactly.
LOL.
It's the AWFL starter pack.
The wardrobe malfunction noted above was Marcotte's justification for calling Kirk's debates 'Girls Gone Wild.' Except that's not what happened at all.
In the video Marcotte referenced, the college woman who Charlie Kirk was beating in a debate deliberately exposed her breast in an attempt to prevent him from posting it on YouTube (or to get it removed if he did).
Even her cats think Marcotte is crazy.
Because they know they are losing the debate of ideas.
And because Marcotte knows that Erika Kirk IS the strong woman that she pretends to be, and she can't deal with that.
That is sage advice right there. But it won't stop us from mocking her for her repeated awful articles.
There are just SO many things that the left is completely out of touch with. This is just one of them.
And those bubbles are rapidly shrinking.
That's what hurts them the most. America is rejecting the type of venomous ideology that Marcotte and Salon practice.
Those bubbles will never burst, though. That would imply that leftists would someday acquire a sense of self-awareness.
They will not.
The bubbles will just drift off into oblivion, which is exactly where people like Amanda Marcotte belong.
