Shot in the Dark

Privilege

Children of Tim Walz and Ilhan Omar made their sympathies known bright and early last week.

Isra Hirsi, daughter of Rep. Omar, tweeted out calls for ‘supplies’ for rioters. Called on it by Andy Ngo, she reverted to virtue-signaling:

Now, I can possibly cut Hope Walz a little slack. Make no mistake, she annoyed the crap out of me during the election; she spent a lot of time on Twitter dunking on her father’s opponents; when called out, she responded to the effect of “what, you’re attacking a high school kid for supporting her father?” So she’s definitely angling for a career as a professional feminist, and maybe Amy Klobuchar’s PR flak.

But she’s gotten some flak for this tweet:

And she’s not wrong. She was, in fact, relating facts; the National Guard doesn’t come sliding down a fire poll and jump into their Hummers and race to the scene when the governor gets on the radio – as some thought they did.

I’ll cut Walz – the younger, anyway – a little slack.

    They get to do the same stupid mistakes we did and hopefully learn faster than we did.

    I made a number of mistakes in my youth, but alerting a mob that the coast was clear is not one of those mistakes.

    It ain’t me, I ain’t no governor’s son.

    E. Dimwit Esq. can’t articulate hisself, but he’s right.

    Here’s “anti-racism activist” Tim Wise to explain it more eloquently on CNN:

    Interesting. So this is a thing for the left. Ace, when describing the same technique as used by Jon Stewart of the Daily Show, termed it “Clown nose on, clown nose off”.
