Washington Post congressional reporter Marianna Sotomayor, along with WaPo White House reporter Cleve R. Wootson Jr., recently took a closer look at the relationship between Joe Biden and Democratic Rep. James Clyburn:
Marianna Sotomayor ~ Many credit Jim Clyburn for helping pave Biden's pathway to the White House. But don't expect him to issue ultimatums or pressure the president to return the favor.
@CleveWootson & I dive into their relationship and Clyburn's strategic influence campaign.

OK, Marianna. Just one quick question, if we may:
Jerry Dunleavy ~ Marianna why did you dismissively refer to Justice Clarence Thomas as “the Black justice whose rulings often resemble the thinking of White conservatives”?
Sorry ... come again, Jerry? Surely Marianna and Cleve would never say something like that. Not about Clarence Thomas. Not about anyone.
Oh, wait. Yes they would:
John Doe ~ "... referring to the Black justice whose rulings often resemble the political thinking of White conservatives."
http://washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/02/16/clyburn-supreme-court/
Quite a collection of words there, huh?
Jerry Dunleavy ~ WaPo WhiteHouse reporter & WaPo Congress reporter (so this is purportedly a news article & not just a bad opinion piece) dismissively describe Justice Clarence Thomas as “the Black justice whose rulings often resemble the thinking of White conservatives.”
Wow.
No, really. “Wow” is a good word to use because it so nicely encapsulates the feeling you get when your jaw is on the floor.
John Daniel Davidson ~ Oh nothing, just a little casual racism in the news section of the Washington Post.
NStep ~ What a racist statement.
A racist statement that would be awful enough to read in an opinion piece. But in an ostensible straight-news article, it manages to be even more disgusting.
Matthew S ~ Amazing the things you can say, under the guise of objectivity (it’s a news article, not op-Ed), if you believe you’re on “the correct side of history.”
AG ~ Insanely offensive.
This isn't even an opinion piece. In a media environment with actual standards, the editors and writers responsible for this post would face real consequences.
Democracy Dies in Darkness, but the Washington Post Revels in Racism.
wally ~ I wonder, if they say these things out loud before writing them down and publishing them online, that might stop some issues for them?
No, Sotomayor and Wootson knew exactly what they were saying. WaPo knew exactly what they were saying.
ericontrarian ~ When you realize leftists run off projection everything makes a lot more sense.
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
