DIARY OF DISTURBING DISINFORMATION AND DANGEROUS DELUSIONS THIS DEFENSE: “Democrats are not woke and weak. We are a great party and should be proud of that.” — _Rep. Ro Khanna, Wednesday_ WE
SAY: The representative doth protest too much. Khanna is unconvincingly trying to defend his party from criticism by Rahm Emmanuel, who rightly slammed the Democrats’ brand as “toxic.” Fact
is, Democrats fully embraced the “woke” label, ramming through DEI policies and framing themselves as the party of “equity,” until about five minutes ago, when they realized it was costing
them elections. Now they’re trying their best to convince voters they have something to offer besides noxious finger-wagging and divisive identity politics — and even shelling out millions
to figure out how to win back men. MORE FROM POST EDITORIAL BOARD Sorry, Ro: The “woke and weak” label was hard-earned, and you’ll have to earn your way out of it. -------------------------
THIS APPEAL: “[The Kennedy Center] should get blown up.” — _Patti LuPone, in an interview published Monday_ WE SAY: LuPone is no stranger to melodramatics, but her language slamming the
cultural institution just because President Trump is the chair is more violent than she may realize. Considering the recent arson attacks on Tesla dealerships, GOP offices and the home of
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, the chance that some crazed lefty will take her up on the challenge is well above zero. Millionaire Patti won’t be affected by the violence she’s egging on
while she lounges in her Central Park West apartment, but everyday innocents will be. Talk about privilege. ------------------------- THIS CLAIM: “Dems have fully embraced far right
eugenics.” — _Taylor Lorenz, Tuesday_ WE SAY: Seems “far right eugenics” now means “wanting kids to know how to read.” Lorenz, who believes that “we never had a single lock down in this
country” because they weren’t strict _enough_, is upset that former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg admitted schools should’ve reopened sooner during the pandemic. GET OPINIONS AND
COMMENTARY FROM OUR COLUMNISTS Subscribe to our daily Post Opinion newsletter! THANKS FOR SIGNING UP! Buttigieg’s too-late realization is backed by mountains of evidence that show school
closures yielded sky-high absenteeism, record drops in reading and math scores, higher rates of mental illness and of stunted socialization. It crippled an entire generation, yet Lorenz
couldn’t care less. ------------------------- THIS STATEMENT: “Far right extremists want to take your health care away.” — _Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, Tuesday_ WE SAY: Democrats can’t honestly
defend their resistance to the modest Medicaid reforms in the House Republican budget bill, so they’ve resorted to big, fat fibs. The truth: The bill would require working-age, able-bodied
Medicaid recipients to work, volunteer or attend school for 80 hours _per month_. That will not “take health care away” from the truly needy; in fact, it will cut down on waste and fraud and
ensure that public funds are going to those who need it _most _— children, the disabled, the elderly and pregnant women. Opposing _that_ is madness, so Democrats fall back on fearmongering
lies. _— Compiled by The Post Editorial Board_
