Outrage is a very fine thing. So is indignity. They are good for the circulation and keep one alert, I have always found. This is why I read The New York Times as diligently as I do. The once-but-no-longer newspaper of record never lets me down.
So it was last Wednesday, when The Times published a remarkable opinion piece under the headline, “This Is Who Kamala Harris Fails.” The 1,200– word commentary that follows reflects what we are calling the “Abandon Harris” movement. Hala Alyan, a Palestinian–American writer, calls for voters to reject Harris at the polls in November because — I will put this more bluntly than Alyan—Harris’s support for terrorist Israel’s genocide in Gaza while she professes a broken heart at the sight of the suffering is simply too much hypocrisy to take.
