      Jeet Heer Retweeted Gabe Hoffman

      This is a completely ridiculous move on the part of Niskanen Center. The intent of Wilkinson's tweet was clearly ironic (it was a play on Trump's role in inciting mob to attack congress with Pence in it). Civility shouldn't mean a clampdown on irony, even severe irony.https://twitter.com/GabeHoff/status/1352381483202310150 …

      Jeet Heer Retweeted Gabe Hoffman

      This sorry episode does illustrate the deep flaw of the entire Niskanen Center project. Fetishizing civility as they do empowers bad faith actors (like Hoffman) who are interested in shutting down debate.https://twitter.com/GabeHoff/status/1352381483202310150 …

          just another example of the negative value that hedge funds bring to the world

          Further, their whole project is built on the idea that they can rescue the insights of conservative thought from the worst impulses of the modern right wing. If they’re also caving to bad faith right wing attacks, then they’ve failed their whole project...

          Yep. The Wilkinson tweet was in bad taste, never serious, and Niskanen dumped him for bad taste. And this just a few months after hiring... Matt Yglesias? Seriously, Niskanen?

          Yep Disney did something similar with the director of the Guardians movies after an alt-right troll did something similar. Eventually Disney rehired him but it means Guardians 3 was delayed by at least 4 years.

          Kind of proves out the whole Niskanen mission that the modern GOP is fatally flawed and unserious

          Niskanen saying “can in any way be interpreted as” is just begging for guys like Hoffman to fuck with them
