The level of hostility directed at Anti-Defamation League (ADL) CEO Jonathan Greenblatt over his refusal to lie in solidarity with his co-partisans on the Left is instructive.
Elon Musk was guilty only of making “an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm,” Greenblatt’s organization wrote in response to a surge of online agitation over footage of Musk making what his detractors called “a Nazi salute.” Rather, the video of the event features Musk thanking Trump supporters for their election-year efforts, telling them that “My heart goes out to you,” and twice putting his hand over his heart before thrusting it outward as if he were casting his heart into the crowd. “This is a delicate moment,” the ADL conceded. “It’s a new day, and yet so many are on edge. Our politics are inflamed, and social media only adds to the anxiety.” Nevertheless, right is right, and wrong is wrong.
