| Washington Post article attacks Trump 'MAGA' hat, says it represents ‘acid hatred’ Now the Washington Post hates President Trump’s "Make America Great Again" hats. The Post’s fashion desk, which has idolized the fashion trends of former first lady Michelle Obama and Speaker Nancy Pelosi but slammed the president and his wife’s threads, has condemned the red "MAGA" hat as a sign of hatred. “The MAGA hat speaks to America’s greatness with lies of omission and contortion. To wear a MAGA hat is to wrap oneself in a Confederate flag. The look may be more modern and the fit more precise, but it’s just as woeful and ugly,” wrote critic Robin Givhan in Saturday's Style section. “The hat has become a symbol of us vs. them, of exclusion and suspicion, of garrulous narcissism, of white male privilege, of violence and hate. For minorities and the disenfranchised, it can spark a kind of gut-level disgust that brings ancestral ghosts to the fore. Here, in 2019, their painful past is present,” she added. What sparked her rage is unclear, but she mentioned last week’s media sensation over a high schooler wearing the hat smiling and staring at a native American who was banging a drum in their faces. The story has become a symbol for how the Left and the Right can look at the same image and see different worlds. Showing her view, Givhan wrote: "The hat figured prominently in the viral video of young Nick Sandmann’s eye-to-eye encounter with the more senior Native American drummer Nathan Phillips at the Lincoln Memorial. Sandmann stood his ground. He had every right to remain there, the high schooler said during an interview on “Today.” Sandmann did not seem to consider whether it was actually the right thing to do." "How drastically his appearance changed from the fateful moment on the Mall to his appearance on national television," she continued. "The world met Sandmann when he was wearing a red MAGA hat and a quilted parka. His mouth was turned up in a thin, wide smile that occasionally expanded into a toothy one. When he appeared on television to defend himself against accusations of racism and disrespect, he wore a heather gray zip-front pullover and a button-down shirt. His short brown hair was shiny. His large eyes rarely blinked. His voice was flat. The MAGA hat was gone." She concluded: “The hat is a provocation. Is its corrosiveness too much for high school students to understand? No. They have studied American history. They can sort through complex issues related to the Second Amendment, climate change and abortion to not only have an opinion but also organize to change the opinion of others. They are digital natives who understand the power of images. Armed with so much knowledge, it is, perhaps, a more jolting loss, a graver reality, when youth is wrecked by the acid hatred symbolized by a hat.” https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/...-attacks-trump-maga-hat-represent-acid-hatred |
"How drastically his appearance changed from the fateful moment on the Mall to his appearance on national television..."
from an outdoor event, at which he had been outdoors all day, to an indoor studio?
yes, what a surprise that he didn't wear the exact same clothes in the video
if you're insane
if all these people truly believe what they're writing, shouldn't they be calling for a ban on the hats?
shouldn't they be lobbying to prevent them from being sold by vendors on the Mall?
