When a Catholic school girl accused three white boys in her class of cutting her dreadlocked hair, accusations of racism poured out. The girl went on TV, and national media picked up the story. The fact that Karen Pence, the wife of Vice President Mike Pence, teaches at the school added fuel to the fire, and publication after publication repeated that fact.
Everyone’s second-favorite congressional antisemite, Rep. Rashida Tlaib, offered words of encouragement to the girl: “You are beautiful. … You are courageous & strong. You are loved. You see … you may not feel it now, but you have a power that threatens their core. I can’t wait to watch you use it and thrive. Stay strong.”
