Well “self-expelling with my encouragement” is how Bari thinks of the Naqba and Palestinians, so at least the word choice is apt.

Can I admit that I genuinely had no clue what the fck a bari weis even was until a few weeks ago!?! I had a friend send me some quote or article or something that said something like "whatever your thoughts on bw are yada yada." And I had to ask, "who the fck is that and why would I have thoughts?"

Perhaps Chatterton has all references to Sharyn Afonsi blocked so that he's incapable of reading the press statement everyone else is responding to. Or he's just put his fingers in his ears and covered his eyes. I wish he would cover his mouth. 🙈🙉🙊

It's late and I'm pondering what it would actually look like to "self-expell" and I just keep hearing Alice Cooper calling some guy a "self ball fucker" in 1972. I don't know what either one of those means or what they'd look like but I think they're related.

I love how, three tweets in, it occurs to him that "I kicked a friend out of my house in the middle of nowhere in a foreign country" might not make him look that great, so he goes back and revises the story in a way that completely contradicts the first tweet.

My wife is friends with Bari’s parents so my extremely negative opinion of Bari was a disagreement for years. I’m glad she’s not a Republican so we can simply disagree about me disliking an amoral grifter without getting tossed out! She’s come around to my view now, I think. She laughed at this.

CBS News EIC Bari Weiss had concerns about the CECOT piece, I'm told. The network decided to hold the segment pending, among other things, comment or an interview with White House officials next year...

I read a few paragraphs of hers after she was promoted, and even more after a Jamelle post not long ago It didn't take me long to just go, "not worth my time." I can substantiate it more as time goes on, but back when this was posted I just knew I SHOULDN'T have to substantiate that she's an idiot

The sequence gets me every time. “I literally ended up expelling from my house an American friend of a friend…” “… a lot of people are misinterpreting this tweet (on purpose)… [H]e ended up self-expelling…” So, not so much a “literal” expulsion as an observation of a departure.
