Yikes. A bit of integrity out of Naomi Wolf.
Bizpac-
After watching Tucker Carlson’s controversial release of previously unseen January 6, 2021, footage from the Capitol, author Naomi Wolf has written a lengthy letter of apology to conservatives for being “duped” by the Democrats with whom she used to identify and the damage “so much untruth” spread by her former “tribe” has caused “those who ‘put America first’ everywhere.”
Once hailed as a “Democratic Party icon” by Business Insider, Wolf, in her Thursday post to her Substack newsletter, wrote, “I believed a farrago of lies. And, as a result of these lies, and my credulity — and the credulity of people similarly situated to me – many conservatives’ reputations are being tarnished, on false bases.”
“I owe you a full-throated apology,” she wrote to those conservatives.
She blasted “Democrats in leadership” for spinning a “tragedy” into a political talking point.
“You don’t have to agree with Mr Carlson’s interpretation of the videos, to conclude that the Democrats in leadership, for their own part, have cherry-picked, hyped, spun, and in some ways appear to have lied about, aspects of January 6, turning a tragedy for the nation into a politicized talking point aimed at discrediting half of our electorate,” she wrote.
“From the start, there have been things about the dominant, Democrats’ and legacy media’s, narrative of Jan 6, that seemed off, or contradictory, to me,” she continued, adding, “That does not mean I agree with the interpretation of these events in general on the right.”
With Carlson’s release of the footage, Wolf says, there is no way to “un-hear the interview that Mr Carlson did with former Capitol police office Tarik Johnson, who said that he received no guidance when he called his superiors, terrified, as the Capitol was breached, to ask for direction” or to “unsee Officer Brian Sicknick, claimed by some Democrats in leadership and by most of the legacy media to have been killed by rioters at the Capitol that day, alive in at least one section of the newly released video.”

NO, YOU OWE US A DEEP-THROATED APOLOGY
Stop the world I want to get off Naomi Wolf!
She’s quite DENSE for a Doctor ain’t she.
As she ages, she is having to switch to her Brain rather than her looks.
Her analysis is nothing more complicated than what a grade 10 student in a real NON BRAINWASHED school could have figured out from day ONE.
“appear to have lied”….NO THEY LIED!
At least she tried.
If you read the entire apology she spends a lot of time hedging and justifying. Not a ‘full throated’ apology in my book. Kind of like when someone compliments President Trump – they have to lace the compliment with 2 or 3 things they don’t like about him so (in their mind) noone burns their house down.
I give the left no quarter. If you identify as a Democrat or a Liberal I’m not interested in a damn thing you have to say. And I don’t want to be your pal or your friend. Just leave me the F alone.
Hip, hip hooray. Blows raspberry.
Here’s my take on this 🖕🤏👌
^^^ cuz they’re flakey and will turn on you sometime down the road.
When she admits it’s a lot more than just Jan 6. The lies she helped enable extend much further back.
She’s pointing at just one squirrel when the forest is full of them.
She is not the first to change sides for financial gain, think Joe Scarborough, Col Ralph Peters, George Will, and Brett Stephens.
My favorite NM video is when doing an interview for her new book the interviewer proved that she got it all wrong, really good stuff;

On the other hand, for a Liberal to have written that implies (to me) that they’re suffering from some overwhelming guilt! Good.

===================
So you’re saying it was so bad it wasn’t even a sucky apology?
Yeah, no. I read her article, and apparently, she’s incredibly gullible when it comes to over-the-top claims from the Democrats, the MSM, and the intelligence community. By her own admission, there wasn’t a Trump-related hoax that she didn’t buy into whole-heartedly. Fuck off and die, lady.
IOTWReport…
Where conservatives get to honestly express themselves and compete for best pun of the thread.
Should be a descriptional byline for the site.
Yea, hanging with the cool kids. If the cool kids are satanists. Soft words and promises seduce the pliable mind and the ringing hypocrisy makes not a sound in a soul that chooses not to hear.
Wait and see…
She’s already been red-pilled by the fake plague mass poisoning debacle from the faux-“vaccines”. She’s like many ex-lefties when the blinders come off. She sees all the lies now… just like Roddy Piper’s character in “They Live”.
