These are dark times for the Resistance. Donald Trump is about to return to office. Elon Musk is the second-most powerful man in the world (or first, depending on whom you ask). Mark Zuckerberg just fired an entire industry’s worth of fact-checkers, then capped it off by appearing on The Joe Rogan Experience to quaff an entire jar of red pills. But all hope is not lost: Jennifer Rubin is now free to speak her mind again. Will anyone really care to listen?
When Patrick Soon-Shiong, owner of the Los Angeles Times, cancelled his newspaper’s planned endorsement of Kamala Harris for president in late October of last year, few in the media were more outraged at the purported betrayal of principle than Jennifer Rubin, the Washington Post’s star “Resistance” columnist. Rubin’s entire output since the year 2015 has been devoted to hatred of Donald Trump and the slavishly rote defense of whatever the official Democratic Party line in D.C. is that day, and her incandescent disgust was such that she demanded the entire editorial staff of the Times resign immediately in protest.
