The Detroit News and National Review faced harsh backlash for publishing a political cartoon connecting Rashida Tlaib to the pager bombs in Lebanon and Syria.
I’m being sincere. I remember going on a road trip with my grandpa around that time, and he would listen to Fox News Radio. I remember an episode of Limbaugh where he was going on and on about how people were offended about a political cartoon of the Obamas wearing full robes and head coverings (I don’t know the actual term for that type of dress) holding AKs with an American flag in the fireplace. He was of course saying shit like “it’s just people exercising their free speech, why should people be so mad?”
Anyone else remember an America that didn’t have regular public threats against political figures?
I don’t know how we turn back the clock on that one, but yes, this is disgusting.
Probably to around 2008 or so.
