Donated to political candidates the New Republic dislikes, as OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush did?
Then you deserve to die in an undersea tragedy.
That was the strong implication of a truly gross piece the left-wing rag pumped out Wednesday about the missing Titanic sub, bearing the headline “OceanGate CEO Missing in Titanic Sub Had History of Donating to GOP Candidates.”
Keep in mind: There’s zero hope left. The craft’s oxygen supply is far past its limit, even if hypothermia didn’t doom the passengers the first day.
Yet TNR’s Daniel Strauss thought it mattered that “Stockton Rush, the CEO of OceanGate currently stuck on the missing Titan submersible that was running a tourist expedition of the Titanic wreck, has been a consistent Republican donor over the years.”
What possible relevance could this have to the Titanic sub story?
None — which the magazine implicitly admitted by deleting its tweet on the article.
It still shows how progressives routinely accept the idea that being on the wrong side of the political aisle means you merit a grisly death.
And it’s not just TNR.
Lefty MSNBC legal commentator Elie Mystal tweeted of the affair: “Next time some rich white person wants to take Sam Alito on an expensive trip, please take him to see the Titanic.”
Imagine the outrage if a right-leaning commentator at a leading news network “joked” about a liberal justice suffocating on the ocean floor.
Strauss and Mystal are on the team that shouts about compassion while stoking endless racial resentment and leading social media campaigns against anyone who dissents from their orthodoxy.
Still, publicly cheering and/or wishing for the painful death of those on the other side (and in a pathetic bid for clicks!) sets a disgusting new low.
