In a revealing moment during her recent CPAC speech, Donald Trump’s newly appointed UN ambassador, Elise Stefanik, openly took credit for the ousting of multiple Ivy League university presidents on Israel’s behalf.

“Do you remember that famous Congressional hearing with the anti-Semitic university presidents from Harvard and Penn?” she asked the crowd. “I should say former presidents after my questions. Five down and so many to go.”

The media never should have allowed Ms. Great-Replacement-Theory to cosplay as caring about antisemitism. Every single story should have included a reference to it as soon as her name was mentioned, just like every story about Elon Musk should include his Nazi salute.

But they're a combination of corrupt and willing to sell out democracy and decency for short term gains. That corruption and fecklessness is critical to all this being possible.
