Twitter users criticized a Wednesday article by Wajahat Ali which argued white women are “killing America” by voting for Republicans.
“The cult of Karen will always turn on people of color on a dime to uphold oppressive systems that ensure they remain influential and powerful handmaidens of white,” Ali claims.
The article focused first on the gubernatorial race in Virginia, in which both candidates were white. (RELATED: CRT Opponents Win Big In School Board Elections Across America)
Among white, female voters in the Virgina gubernatorial race, 75% chose Republican candidate Glenn Youngkin, who campaigned on education and against critical race theory. Ali compared Youngkin’s critical race theory messaging to the Southern Strategy, falsely claiming CRT is not taught in schools.
“Meet the mansplainer,” commented Christina Sommers, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute.
