For the entirety of his 49-year career in politics, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) has chosen to identify as a socialist. Now that Sanders is the frontrunner to win the Democratic nomination for president, smug New York Times columnist Paul Krugman wants to deny him the right to his own identity.
New York Times columnist Paul Krugman is urging House Democrats to take "precautions" to protect themselves in the event that President Donald Trump and his supporters start using "mob" tactics such as "roughing up the witnesses" called to testify in impeachment hearings on Capitol Hill.
New York Times columnist blasts Trump for giving Presidential Medal of Freedom to Tiger Woods, rather than someone who has 'shown courage and made sacrifices on behalf of the nation'
New York Times columnist Paul Krugman is a wealthy partisan hack who, like most partisan hacks, is unable to resist the allure of Twitter. When a steaming hot take enters his brain, Krugman is rarely dissuaded from sharing it with the world. He types it in the little white box. He presses the "Tweet" button.
All the unbiased experts agree that Bernie Sanders demolished Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary debate that nobody watched on Sunday night. The affable socialist from Vermont is surging in the polls and raising millions by the day. Hillary Clinton is doing what she does best: underperforming in a Democratic primary due to an egregious lack of charisma and political skill.
Frankly, I’m a little disappointed in Donald Trump. I mean, it’s hard to fault a guy for modesty, but this is politics. You’ve gotta be in it to win it, go for the gold, etc. When someone endorses your vision of human flourishing, you can’t go all shrinking violet on the American people. So I really wish the current frontrunner would rear that bashful head of his and remind the world—and his fellow Republican presidential candidates—of the plaudits he’s just received from a Top Global Thinker in an expensive newspaper.
Paul Krugman is very concerned about ideologues. “The most reckless and dangerous ideologues,” he wrote in New York Times last week, “are often those who imagine themselves ideology-free.” You know, people like this guy.
Taxpayer-funded millionaire Paul Krugman is known for his endless supply of hot takes, as well as his profound sense of self and perpetual outrage. In his latest column for the New York Times, Krugman writes about the same topic all other liberal pundits are writing about: How conservative climate change denial is destroying America. (Tuesday’s Washington Post, for example, includes two separate columns on how the GOP is “Dangerously in denial,” and “Too stubborn for change.”)
