I forget what year it was when Molly Jong-Fast blocked me. Honestly, I can't even remember what simple little tweet offended her delicate sensibilities but I know it's been quite some time since I had to look at her strange hair color in my feed.
But this morning when she was trending because people were claiming Joe Rogan wouldn't debate her, I took a gander at her timeline (yes, I can still do that) and it was exactly what I expected. The same people circling their sad little wagons around that guy who wears a lab coat around to remind everyone HE'S AN EXPERT' shrieking about Rogan.
A brief glance through Rogan's tweets shows he's been ignoring the hyenas and honestly, it's hard to blame him. Note, I don't use the term hyena lightly after all, a person has to earn it. Sort of like Molly.
She earned it.
.@MollyJongFast: “[Dr. Hotez] should absolutely not [debate @RobertKennedyJr]. Dr. Hotez … has devoted himself to science. He’s a pediatrician, he’s an incredibly good man … RFK Jr. Is a crank & an anti-vaxxer & we all know why these very wealthy tech bros are pumping him up” pic.twitter.com/q6eFqeuoJz

I continue to be right but @tomselliott is retweeting this with the hopes that I’ll be swarmed by anti-vaxxers. What Tom doesn’t know is that I have been swarmed by anti-vaxxers for like 3 days. https://t.co/v7rm825fkt

Except I know she'll just block anyone who 'swarms' her because that's what she does. Blocks and runs.
A debate with her would last maybe five minutes and then she'd run off to complain about it on Twitter.
Meh.
And you know Rick Wilson couldn't miss an opportunity to try and make this about him.
Look, I know it's a holiday, but why is @joerogan afraid to debate @mollyjongfast?

Did you guys see the documentary on The Lincoln Project on Showtime? It was pretty boring BUT one scene did stick out in my mind, and it was Wilson sitting in a car bragging about how he made a d*ck joke in a political ad.
That's who he really is.
And if I remember the d*ck joke he bragged about, it wasn't funny or even original.
And yet still @joerogan refuses to debate me #joeroganwontdebatemolly

Hey, I get what she's doing here, I do. But the only people who think this is clever already think Hotez should consider hiding from the debate so ... eh.
Weak.

I worry things may be getting stupider

Indeed they are.
Thanks to people like Molly.
