Might wanna gird those loins, Judd.
Just sayin’.
It all started here:
Hi @allinwithchris, I fixed your hit job with @juddlegum on parents. @terrymcauliffe vs @glennyoungkin has you so worried, you ridicule a black man @harryJ4justice, justify porn exposed by @stacylangton + spin conspiracies about @defendinged @coalitionfortj, led by Asians? Shame! pic.twitter.com/JnltGyKRaU

Oof.
When you look at it this way they SHOULD be worried. Parents are ticked, and rightfully so.
Take a look at how he responded:
So if I understand you correctly, your objection to my reporting is that it's racist?
— Judd Legum (@JuddLegum) October 19, 2021
That Judd’s takeaway is ‘racism’ seems a bit shallow and quite honestly, deliberately disingenuous. Sure, Asra was pointing out how diverse the parents pushing back are (since McAuliffe called their concerns a ‘racist dog whistle’) but the key point here was their ridiculing those parents to pretend they’re just paid operatives whose concerns are not real.
FFS.
Because no parent could ever just care enough to fight back for their kids.
You did put out an attack piece on POCs for disagreement with the agenda of the leftist power base & falsely claimed that they did so in capacities as paid advocates.
— Harry Jackson (@HarryJ4Justice) October 19, 2021
Yeah, that sounds pretty damn bad.
Good point.
None of my claims were false. Are you claiming there are no paid advocates involved in this effort? Does @DefendingEd not have paid staff?
— Judd Legum (@JuddLegum) October 19, 2021
Notice how once again he’s deliberately missing the point.
Nobody is THIS obtuse.
He’s being called out for ignoring the very real movement of PARENTS pushing back and fighting to fix public education for their kids. Take for example Fairfax mom, Stacey Langton, who called Fairfax OUT bigtime for inappropriate books in the library.
She was none too happy with Judd:
Hi @JuddLegum your claims on @MSNBC regarding my @fcpsnews #schoolboardmeeting visit Sept. 23rd are FALSE and defamatory and I should probably sue you. I'm a parent, not a "paid operative," & I never even met @AsraNomani before that night. Get your RETRACTION story in order now.
— Stacy Langton (@StacyLangton) October 19, 2021
Ouch.
I’ve never claimed, on MSNBC or elsewhere, that you were a paid operative. I mentioned that your speech was used by advocacy groups, which is true.
— Judd Legum (@JuddLegum) October 19, 2021
He just made the whole effort out to be something other than parents, that’s all.
You also stated last night on @MSNBC that the pornography I found in my kids' school library in @fcpsnews is "award-winning."
What was the "award?" Best Porn In Schools??
RETRACTION NOW.#ResignFairfaXXX#IWontBackDown@SebGorka pic.twitter.com/FGVcpWstNU— Stacy Langton (@StacyLangton) October 19, 2021
Yikes.
As we said, gird your loins, dude.
Both books received the "Alex Award" from the American Library Association which is awarded annually to "ten books written for adults that have special appeal to young adults ages 12 through 18."https://t.co/v7ZTL0JITVhttps://t.co/GEsh8tggaI

Judd decided to defend the p0rn.
Alrighty then.
Sounds like you are the paid operative to me…. Typical media hack

Ain’t that the truth?
