like Lee is understandably mad at the guy who is laughing about how his ex-wife threatened to murder him, seems a bit wacky to get defensive about following the guy.

quote:

Tiffany Caban, the insurgent candidate for Queens district attorney, has recorded an interview with a controversial left-wing podcast whose hosts have been accused of making misogynistic statements.

Caban, who is locked in a tight battle with Borough President Melinda Katz, sat down in a Queens diner for the chat with the Chapo Trap House, a podcast with 100,000 subscribers that is known for its edgy critique of all things establishment — and its fair share of negativity towards women.

"It is incredibly concerning that Tiffany Cabán chose to participate in a program that has a history of poking fun at survivors of rape, sexual assault and harassment," said Jessica Carrano, a spokeswoman for Katz. “A candidate running for the office that is responsible for protecting all people should not be giving voice to (such) a platform."

Caban’s spokeswoman, Monica Klein, said the candidate is “in demand” and she does not necessarily agree with positions of the all the media outlets she does interviews with.
“In the past 24 hours alone, Tiffany has spoken with the Associated Press, NY1, the Washington Post, NBC, Chapo Trap House, The Appeal, and Democracy Now," Klein said.

Klein promoted Caban’s appearance on Chapo Trap House by posting a photo of the chat on Wednesday.

Although little-known in mainstream political circles, Chapo Trap House has a devoted base among liberal activists. A self-proclaimed mouthpiece for the “dirtbag left,” its listenership appears to overlap with membership of the Democratic Socialists of America, which is providing manpower and enthusiastic backing to Caban’s underdog campaign.

The controversy surrounding Chapo Trap House mostly centers around its off-color, biting and sometimes offensive brand of leftist political commentary and humor. Some of its hosts and guests have taken nasty pot shots at other figures on the left, occasionally making nasty jibes at victims of sexual assault and the mentally disabled.

The show’s producers did not respond to requests for comment.

Caban and Katz are considered frontrunners in the crowded primary on Tuesday to replace longtime DA Richard Brown, who died last month.

Caban, 30, who is queer and a public defender, is running as an outsider who will shake up the cozy criminal justice system in the polyglot borough. She has enjoyed a string of endorsements including backing across the left side of the ideological spectrum from the New York Times to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Queens).

She won nods on Wednesday from both prominent liberal presidential candidates Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders.
Those endorsements sparked a nasty blow-back from Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-Queens), the powerful head of the Queens Democratic Party. He warned national figures to stay out of a race in which he and most other black elected officials are backing Katz.

“African-American voters are tired of the patronizing and tired of the arrogance," Meeks said in a statement. "I suggest they speak with us before they decide to speak for us.”

It must be 100% because they said bad things about Hillary. Otherwise I have no idea where it's coming from either.

It's a little of that, a little of the selfie with the Bill Cosby star, but the worst incident I can remember was Felix mocking Melissa McEwan's sexual assault.

https://twitter.com/i/moments/889516709685678080?lang=en

For those who aren't quite as terminally online, McEwan is the webmaster for the 'feminist' blog "Shakesville," which is best known for having a commenting policy about as long as Finnegan's Wake. Melissa is, by many accounts, an abusive controlling person in her own right, but that don't make jokes about someone's sexual assault kosher.

THE POSSESSION OF WEALTH IS IN AND OF ITSELF A SIGN OF POOR VIRTUE. AS SUCH:
1 NEVER TRUST ANY RICH PERSON.
2 NEVER HIRE ANY RICH PERSON.
BY RULE 1, IT IS APPROPRIATE TO PRESUME THAT ALL DEGREES AND CREDENTIALS HELD BY A WEALTHY PERSON ARE FRAUDULENT. THIS JUSTIFIES RULE 2--RULE 1 NEEDS NO JUSTIFIC

I’m not sure I’d call that a meltdown. I’d be pretty mad to be tagged in a tweet like that too, like he had something to do with it. Felix should lay off a bit now though.

Buddy I wish I knew. I deleted my social media accounts last year. In many ways I am happier and more attentive, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t also feel more isolated and alienated. Still, these platforms are designed and maintained by capitalists for capitalism. For as much goddamn shade the left throws at electoralism, quoting 100 year old theory back and forth all day, it sure does uncritically embrace social media. I don’t know poo poo about poo poo, but gawking at a host the most popular left-of-liberal podcast beef with one of the only open socialists in office can’t be healthy.

I forgot about that and his apology on Reddit, for some reason whenever this gets dredged up I have this vague notion that it was Andrea Dworkin he slagged off
