It has come to this. Over the past two weeks, as it became clear that the racist lie Donald Trump amplified about Haitian immigrants eating pets in Ohio was patently false—it came from one ludicrous Facebook post whose author later denounced it—Christopher Rufo, senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute and famed right-wing troll, decided that he must uncover the “the …

But there’s a strange thing missing from this moment of conservative agit-prop victory: The people who actually made decisions about Gay, who were almost all on the left and the center-left. The hectoring from people like Harvard megadonor Bill Ackman appalled even critics of Gay’s leadership following the October 7 attacks. And the far-right triumph frame was certainly good for …
