She literally wrote a column called The Right Turn blog
Jennifer Rubin is an American conservative columnist who writes the "Right Turn" blog for The Washington Post. Previously she worked at Commentary, PJ Media, Human Events, and The Weekly Standard. Her work has been published in media outlets including Politico, New York Post, New York Daily News, National Review, and The Jerusalem Post.
Her own former Ombudsman said she should be fired.
She nothing but an embarrassed repig who wants to stick her beak in our politics.

Patrick Pexton, who served as The Washington Post's ombudsman until March of this year, has written an open letter to incoming Post owner Jeff Bezos in which he calls on him to make editorial page editor Fred Hiatt fire Jennifer Rubin, the paper's conservative columnist.
"Have Fred Hiatt, your editorial page editor who I like, admire, and respect fire opinion blogger Jennifer Rubin. Not because shes conservative, but because shes just plain bad," Pexton writes in the letter, which was published by Washington City Paper.
"She doesnt travel within a hundred miles of Post standards," Pexton argues. "She parrots and peddles every silly right-wing theory to come down the pike in transparent attempts to get Web hits. Her analysis of the conservative movement, which is a worthwhile and important beat that the Post should treat more seriously on its national pages, is shallow and predictable. Her columns, at best, are political pornography; they get a quick but sure rise out of the right, but you feel bad afterward."
Pexton also used his letter to offer general business advice; praise new editor Marty Baron for making the Post "edgier, tougher, newsier, and more ambitious in national and local coverage"; and lament the decline of the Style section, which he said needed "a mission and someone to shape the vision."

"And I'm a white man" and his wagging hand while Biden was speaking lost it for him.

Those numbers are skewed because they don't take into account the overall tax impositions...

Agreed. Only Jennifer Rubin, WAPO's right wing columnist, is credible around here.
