Disgusted at David Reich for insulting the late, great Henry Harpending for his own progressive apologia. Fuck the commissars. He could've thrown some alt-right assholes to the wolves instead of gentleman scholars like Harpending.

Yes it is a "below the waist" hit on Harpending especially when the man is dead and cannot defend himself. I've personally heard Jimmy say politically incorrect things more than once but using these two just to signal virtue is rather unbecoming. On the other hand Reich might be
