John McWhorter, the prominent academic, author and New York Times columnist, wants everyone to know that he's sorry that he recently suggested it would be a good thing if someone were to assassinate former President Donald Trump.
McWhorter wants to have it both ways - to be seen as a serious, thoughtful man, while making no pretense of having any principles where Trump is concerned.
"I think Trump is such an extraordinary phenomenon, I would be happy if what Bragg did, despite being partisan, made it so that Trump couldn't run the country anymore," McWhorter said.
Loury kept trying to reason with McWhorter well, reason ends where Trump Derangement Syndrome begins.
McWhorter's take is reminiscent of the insufferable Sam Harris, whose was rightly roasted in 2022 for saying that Trump has no rights because, well, Harris hates him.
McWhorter insists he doesn't have TDS yet is reduced to describing Trump as "a megalomaniacal moron immoral a pig utterly incompetent a 5-year-old with the mental capacity of one of the smarter baboons and a casual racist." Last month, McWhorter wrote a New York Times column about "Rumors" that Trump had used the n-word on "The Apprentice," though he admits he has no evidence that happened.
He claimed, without evidence, that Trump "Would take this country closer to autocracy" and frets that Trump "Wants to persecute his enemies just because they don't like him."
