DAVID HARSANYI: Everything Seth Meyers Said About Ilhan Omar Is Wrong. “Claiming Meghan McCain put the congresswoman in danger by criticizing her is just a way to bully Omar’s critics.”

The first part of this rhetorical question is setting up a destructive standard to undermine debate. For one thing, a public figure—an elected official, no less—has no dispensation from criticism merely because some nut sends her a death threat. Nor is there any indulgence for being a Muslim woman or black women or white middle-aged man, or anyone else. Omar is a 37-year-old educated woman who was elected to the U.S. Congress, not a middle schooler playacting in the Model U.N.

McCain condemned Omar’s words. She didn’t concoct a smear.

But for America’s protected classes, that is a smear.
