An Open Letter to Jared Kushner, From One of Your Jewish Employees
....I cant abide another defensive blame-shift to the media or to politically correct culture gone amok. David Duke, outspoken and explicit white supremacist, anti-Semite, and former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, saw the image your father-in-law tweeted out, and to him the message was quite clear to him. Those arent stereotypical sheriff hands in the corner.
The worst people in this country saw your father-in-laws message and took it as they saw fit. And yet Donald Trump in his response chose not to condemn them, the anti-Semites who, by his argument were obviously misinterpreting the image, but the media.
...And now, Mr. Kushner, I ask you: What are you going to do about this? Look at those tweets I got again, the ones calling me out for my Jewish last name, insulting my nose, evoking the holocaust, and tell me Im being too sensitive. Read about the origins of that image and see the type of people it attracted like a flies to human waste and tell me this whole story is just the work of the dishonest media. Look at that image and tell me, honestly, that you just saw a Sheriffs Star. I didnt see a sheriff star, Mr. Kushner, and Im a smart person. After all, I work for your paper.
Edmund Burke once said, in times that are starting to seem more and more similar: The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. Well, here I am, and here we are. Both Jewish, both members of the media. And you might choose silence, but Ive said my piece.

(135,425 posts)2. Yes, she discusses that in the essay--which was printed in that rag.
She is a Jewish woman, calling out her Jewish boss. And she's doing it IN THAT PAPER.
That is why the essay is so powerful.
She could probably have a future if she jumps, NOW.
