Listen, I can only lead you to the water. I cant make you drink it. Bari Weiss is a respected ex editor of the Rag who left because she was being bullied. She is not a bomb thrower. If she says this you can take it to the bank.
““Well, here’s what happened,” Weiss told Scott. “And this is the part I’m not sure if you know. There was a discussion about the piece and whether or not we should run it.”
Weiss continued: “And one colleague, a more senior colleague said to a more junior colleague who was pushing for the piece, ‘Do you think the Republicans really care about minority rights?’”
“Wow,” Scott said.
“And the more junior colleagues said, ‘I think Tim Scott cares about minority rights’,” Weiss said.
“And then, and here’s the pretty shocking part. The more senior colleague said, ‘Let’s check with Sen. Schumer before we run it’,” Weiss said.
She added that the younger colleague refused to reach out to Schumer due to ethics concerns.
Scott’s op-ed was never published.”
