PAST PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS: Politico Brings In Bounced NYT Editor James Bennet to Display Stunning Hypocrisy on Anti-Rioting Force.

You may have last seen me getting bounced out of The New York Times for running an opinion piece by Sen. TOM COTTON (R-Ark.) arguing for the use of military troops to prevent the rioting that accompanied some of the peaceful protests over the summer. As our editorials made clear, I disagreed with Cotton then (that’s one reason I supported running the piece). And so I hope it doesn’t make me a hypocrite now to say that I wish the military had been out in force Wednesday to stop the rioting and protect what Biden called the “citadel of liberty.”

As Tim Graham responds at NewsBusters, “Obviously, a more robust police force was necessary to prevent the disgraceful riot at the Capitol. Just as obviously, Bennet is a hypocrite.” And note this:

Further full disclosure: My brother, [Democrat] Sen. MICHAEL BENNET of Colorado, was among the hundreds of public servants on Capitol Hill who came under threat from the mob Wednesday.

“Riots for thee, but not for me” (or my brother.)

And speaking of the Times, past performance and the memory hole: NY Times correspondent Maggie Haberman says new U.S. Capitol fence resembles one put around the WH in June for whatever reason.

As Ilhan Omar said about 9/11, “some people did something.”
