Uh, if the Holocaust cookies didn't do it...



Her entire shtick — from her stand up to her show — is that she happens to be a normal, regular white woman. Quick-witted, observant, funny, and (now) powerful, also. But the normal, regular white woman thing is her base thing. And the election proved, quite demonstratively, that normal, regular white women are Trump supporters. Expecting her to be anything else is like expecting to be able to breathe underwater.

Her defense of Trump is what you’d expect from a normal, regular white woman with her power and platform. As is her regular attacks on Barack Obama and her tweets about Valerie Jarrett, for which she has now apologized for. She is a tiger gone tiger.

And because she’s a normal, regular woman who is also white, she will continue to be defended. Excuses will continue to be made for her. Opportunities will continue to exist. Chances will continue to refresh. Consequences will continue to be a thing that other people have to deal with, like consequences are seasonal allergies.

But who knows? Maybe I’ll be surprised.

It was just anti-Semitism...that's OK to some, and certainly not even a bump in the road for many.
