[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When a journalist misquotes someone so blatantly and refuses to own up to her mistake (if it was a mistake and not intentional) she does not deserve the job as journalist. [/quote]

Some of Attiah’s social media posts condemned political violence but also highlighted Kirk’s divisive comments on Black women.[b] In her only post directly mentioning Kirk, she quoted the Turning Point USA founder’s comments that Black women lack “brain processing power.”[/b]

“I made clear that not performing over-the-top grief for white men who espouse violence was not the same as endorsing violence against them,” Attiah said.

Here is a recording from Kirk's 2023 statements:

So where is the misquote?

Was he speaking about those specific women or Black women in general?

Does it matter? Why are you trying to tease this out. He said what he said. Can you not trust your own ears?

If he’s accusing some of the best and brightest among black woman, who clearly on a different level to most people, black, white, male, female  of lacking brain power and stealing slots from white men; I can only imagine what he thinks about black women “in general”

The guy was bad news.
