Newsweek Opinion Ed says the quiet part out loud: Justice is rewarding friends, punishing enemies

And tries to erase it, but screenshots are forever. Josh Hammer, who really is a fascist, as this shows, is the opinion editor for Newsweek, which is why it has published a variety of fascists in the past couple of years (such as John Eastman asserting that Kamala Harris wasn't eligible to run for VP, because her parents were both non-white, no, sorry, 'not yet naturalized').

Image text:

A clause in the final paragraph was modified from "the rewarding of friends and the punishment of enemies" to "the rewarding of good and the punishment of evil," in order to better rhetorically fit the biblical theme of the paragraph. Substantively, the author views these phrases as interchangeable.


Translation: I know I screwed up and got caught, but I will never admit it.

not before.

A more realistic scenario: some conservative friend read it, sent them a note saying "dude, I can't believe you said that out loud, you sound like you think you're Conan the Barbarian, can you dial the triumphalist 'tomorrow belongs to me' stuff back a little?"
