‘This is Gonna Be One of Those Moments That Goes Viral’: Conservative Pundit Short-Circuits When Asked to Define ‘Wokeness’
By Colby Hall
Credit where due: Bethany Mandel correctly foretold the viral nature of her awkward answer to a fairly straightforward question about what she meant by “wokeness.”
Mandel is a conservative columnist who has contributed to numerous publications. On Tuesday, she appeared on The Hill’s morning program “Rising.” After repeating the word “wokeness” several times, cohost Briahna Joy Gray pressed Mandel on what exactly she meant.
The clip started with Mandell noting how few Americans consider themselves very liberal, “and probably fewer of them consider themselves to be woke.”
Gray then interrupted her guest, asking, “what does that mean to you? Would you mind defining woke? Because it’s come up a couple of times. I just want to make sure we’re on the same page.”

“I mean, woke is something that’s very hard to define,” she finally proclaimed, though that wasn’t an answer to the question actually asked. “And we’ve spent an entire chapter defining it. It is sort of the understanding that we need to totally re-imagine and redo society in order to create hierarchies of oppression.”
No, dumbass.
Wokeness is recognizing that we need to totally re-imagine and redo society in order to dismantle the hierarchies of oppression.
