‘Cuck Loser’: Top Trump Aide Lets Loose On Jon Ossoff Over Natalie Harp Dig

White House Communications Director Steven Cheung went off on Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) for taking a swipe at a close aide of President Donald Trump.

Wow, did he ever take the bait. Ossoff really has his number, plays him like a fiddle. @ossoff.bsky.social

"I would rather do other things" -- Trump on Natalie Harp

Hey, genius Democratic moderates who LOVE Ossoff, maybe take a cue from him. He spent his time ATTACKING Trump instead of progressives or those to his left. Just a thought. Again, he's your "moderate" King. Follow his lead. (I like Ossoff, btw)

Ossoff: "We are dealing with a president who has utterly and undeniably failed at his most core and central obligation as commander in chief. They lied us into war. And by the way -- no one cares about their hurt feelings in the West Wing. They lied us into a war that they don't know how to end."

The pearls are being clutched so hard they're turning into dust.

Ossoff on why he invoked Natalie Harp during his speech: "We're in wartime. The commander in chief has mired us in this geopolitical disaster. People have lost their lives ... and he retreats into this bubble of West Wing aides who are his security blanket to make him feel good about himself"

Stepien: Ossoff should apologize because it was below the belt. Boykin: You worked for Donald Trump. How could you say anything is below the belt when you work for Donald Trump in the White House? For you to come here and have this fake outrage…

Something has broken within so many people in this country. Somewhere along the line in the last ten years they just gave up on the notion of empathy. For pity’s sake, some even mock and deride empathy today, seeing it as a weakness In @heraldscotland.bsky.social

The persecution of minorities has reached bloodthirsty levels

Even in death, Jason Arday is hounded, writes Neil Mackay: the cruelty isn’t just immoral and disgusting, it is making Britain look like a nation…

Excellent by @stephenkb.bsky.social on Jason Arday On the description of him as ‘“the Black professor accused of plagiarism” .. as if the most important thing was not the plagiarism, but the temerity to be simultaneously Black.’ www.ft.com/content/5f92...

The difficult truth about Jason Arday

From the beginning, investigations were accompanied by a cloud of excessive references to his race

ft.com

So powerful to be in Trafalgar Square at the vigil. Rest in Power, Professor Jason Arday.

There's a whole bunch of white male academics who were told that their era is up, and who are now organising. I mean C'mon, this is a MUCH bigger story than the Arday one.

I'm still trying to wrap my brain around the fact that some random retired professor, who was charged with misconduct in 1998 in a bullying related affair & now runs a personal blog and autopublished a book, decides to go on a full campaign and nobody is asking WHY he did it this.. ?

Note here how the terfs, the newspaper columnists, rabid Trumpers and the hyper-online race science Nazis are all on the same page, repeating exactly the same drivel. Their actual numbers are few, by the way. Even together, they are badly outnumbered by the rest of us.

Even after his death, they still won’t let him rest in peace. Just look at Hatey-Spewer’s pinned tweet.

Now, why would the UK media that hounded Jason Arday to death want to convince you they did not hound Jason Arday to death? Beats me.

Another day and another RW hate merchant telling us all what to think. Striking similarity to Mr Burns only with far less charm. Charles Moore aka Baron Moore of Etchingham. Yes another champion of Brexit etc rewarded with tax payers money. Look him up. Everything that's wrong with Britain.

A Cambridge professor is dead after facing extraordinary scrutiny over alleged PhD errors. The Times, Telegraph and Mail published 111 articles about Jason Arday. Edward Higgs asks what lay behind this campaign when other plagiarism cases attracted far less attention.

Jason Arday and the ‘new’ old racism

The tragic death of Jason Arday has sent shock waves worldwide, but there are grim and dark reasons why it is not surprising

NEW: It was a digital lynching. And the media is never going to hold itself to account for the role it played in Jason Arday’s death. But there are things we can do. This is a practical guide based on my own experience. broligarchy.substack.com/p/a-digital-...

A Digital Lynching

A practical guide for individuals and organisations when the mobs gather

broligarchy.substack.com

The NYT knows very well what it's doing here. I was at the largest vigil for Jason Arday. There were no calls for censorship. There were calls for accountability. This is intentionally misrepresenting calls by Black people throughout the UK as a way of silencing them.

Thank you to the Bluesky community who have carefully read & engaged with this piece. I’d also urge you to listen to the Professor Simon Baron-Cohen interview that I embedded. I can only include last 3 mins here but he gives precise chronology..including how he was cleared of plagiarism

Thou shalt come together to defeat the fascists and win the midterms. After that thou shalt replace Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, who are terrible at their jobs and care only about their donors.

Oh nothing. Just @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social the leader of our party in the house spreading right wing talking points. We need new leadership yesterday.

WELKER: Do democratic socialists belong in the Dem Party? JEFFRIES: What I can say is I do not support defunding the police, I do not support open borders, I do not support abolishing the Senate. We're focused on actually solving the problems hard-working American taxpayer want us to solve ...

WELKER: The DOJ has lost 22 cases trying to force states to turn over their voter rolls. Is it time for the DOJ to drop this fight? BLANCHE: No, we're not going to stop. Election integrity is something that President Trump ran on, and the American people elected him.
