Can you imagine if any conservative had made such a racist comment like this? It would have been the opening talking point of every liberal talk show and news program. Shows like The View would have feasted on it, and morons like Jimmy Kimmel would have used it as a punchline.
Schwedel also wrote:
"While that choice doesn’t have to be conservative-coded, it tends to skew that way. It’s also a statement in the sense that it follows more literal statements Vance has made about pronatalism and how women need to have more babies, and/or the evils of women who choose not to. In fact, the Vance baby is part of a mini–baby boom at the White House, with press secretary Karoline Leavitt and Katie Miller, the wife of White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, also expecting."
Rachel Bovard, VP of Programs at Conservative Partnership Institute, called the Slate piece "misogynist trash."
"This is — and I mean this with utter sincerity — the most gutter, vile, misogynist trash from @Slate. This level of bitter nastiness could only come from a woman author, which it obviously did."
"Look in the mirror, Heather Schwedel. There is something deeply twisted in your soul.”
I absolutely concur with Bovard. This was pure hatred. If Schwedel is accepted by her coworkers and if Slate thinks an unjustified gutter trash piece like this is acceptable, then Schwedel isn’t the only monster who needs to look in the mirror; they all do.
