Liberal Media Scream: NYT’s Mara Gay calls Hershel Walker ‘insult to black Americans’
In the broadest racial smear, she not only said on MSNBC’s Morning Joe that Republicans are racists but that they are even worse by putting Walker up to challenger Sen. Raphael Warnock — as if voters had no say.And even in a more twisted way of thinking, she said Walker’s nomination somehow is a way for white people to deny black people democracy and promote “voter repression,” a false claim since the primary saw record voting.
The New York Times editorialist told Al Sharpton, “Given what the Republican Party has come to stand for and stand against, which, in part, is simply black people at this point, and access to democracy and to citizenship, the idea that the Republican Party, in 2022, would put forth a candidate who, among other things, is also a black man, to kind of usher in more voter repression and more of what the Republican Party stands for, is cynical.
MARA GAY: Given what the Republican Party has come to stand for and stand against, which, in part, is simply black people at this point, and access to democracy and to citizenship, the idea that the Republican Party, in 2022, would put forth a candidate who, among other things, is also a black man, to kind of usher in more voter repression and more of what the Republican Party stands for, is cynical.
The thing that makes it, though, really disturbing to me is just the overall message to voters, black and white, that one black man is just as good as another. One black man is the same as any black man. So it doesn’t matter if you’re Barack Obama. It doesn’t matter if you’re Raphael Warnock. It doesn’t matter if you’re Herschel Walker, they’re all the same. You’re all the same, and voters should see you that way. And it’s also just an insult to black Americans but to all voters.
Brent Baker, vice president of research and publications for the Media Research Center, explains our weekly pick: “Instead of celebrating how blacks achieved the nominations of both parties to a U.S. Senate seat from a Southern state, MSNBC and the New York Times feel the need to denigrate the nominee who dares stray from the liberal political agenda. It’s Gay who is the ‘cynical’ one, belittling the candidate who doesn’t conform to her view of what a black man should represent politically.
