“Christopher Rufo, a Manhattan Institute made man, is complaining again about the deplorable conditions of discourse on the right. … This is quite rich considering Rufo made his bones in the movement as a vulgar propagandist, doing things like spreading lies about Haitian cat eaters in Ohio or suggesting that scammers in Minnesota have been funding Al-Qaeda offshoots in Somalia, a claim that even the Trump DOJ rebuts. While decrying the suddenly rampant racism and antisemitism on the right, Rufo routinely demeans the intelligence and moral worth of Somali-Americans. Or acts as a sophist for a White Nationalist up for a Senate-approved post in the administration. Is this hypocrisy, stupidity, or unabashed malevolence? Try all three: it’s politics.” (02/24/26)
