Can someone sanity check me here? I don’t want to misinterpret and imply this was his intent, but it sounds like victim blaming…
Yep he is victim blaming
Thanks, I wanted to be sure I wasn’t missing something because it really does read like an attempt to say “she asked for it”.
Fucking gross… I honestly wanted to like Ryan and drop site.
It is 100% saying that “she asked for it,” which is always ridiculous, but even more so here when she told him not to come over, and then told him “no” on many further instances after. His argument is nonsensical and could only be useful as deliberately decontextualized r*** apologia.
Didn’t he drive drunk to her home as well? This guy is a walking problem and I’m so sick of American “progressives” again acting like the left is unreasonable because they called it months ago.
Ohhh they knew she withdrew consent and he ignored it? Dang that changes nothing at all
If I did an interview with a Nazi war criminal where his answer on why he decided to go back as a mercenary to the same country he did war crimes was just to deflect and obfuscate I simply wouldn’t make that guy my ride or die.
okay so she told him not to come to her place before the assault and he came over and assaulted her anyways? makes him look worse
jeremy scahill, brother, let him go. you would do fine without slop usa politics vertical.
*(well it’s actually that billionaire daughter with palestinian sympathies who
owns themis their publisher, but whatever, she might have even more incentive)American leftists are on a neverending quest to find the stupidest hill to die on
Ryan Grim is not a leftist, he’s always had bad takes here and there, he’s a journalist who reports on things that get him invited to leftist podcasts.
yeah the idea that he was ever “left” is something drop site unfortunately bolstered. in reality he is a radical liberal with a good business partner
Thanks
Jeremy Scahill find a journalism partner who isn’t a fucking tool challenge: impossible
