<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/new-york-magazine">New York Magazine</a> recently devoted their cover to a snapshot from one of President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump">Donald Trump</a>’s inauguration parties &#8212; but some people who were there accuse the outlet of intentionally cropping out black party attendees and then claiming in the article that the party was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/racism">mostly “white.”</a>
The magazine’s headline included the bold text, “The Cruel Kids’ Table,” and featured attendees dressed in gowns and tuxedos from a party called the “Power 30 Awards” on the eve of the inauguration. 
The article’s author Brock Colyar wrote, “almost everyone is white,” followed by his take on the party. “The men look like Pete Hegseth, in bow ties and black suits, with clean-shaven faces. The women are almost all out of their league.”
In another quote from the story, a woman who attended a different inauguration party allegedly said: “Have you noticed the entire room is white?”
Conservative commentator Christopher Barnard posted the full photo which accompanied the story inside the magazine on X, noting how it had been strategically cropped. “New York Magazine literally cropped all the black people out of this cover photo and then complained that ‘the entire room is white,’” he wrote on X.

Co-chair of the Republican National Committee Youth Advisory Council CJ Pearson also took to X and <a href="https://x.com/thecjpearson/status/1883992066784416231">showed</a> the full version of the cropped cover photo.
“This is insane. I hosted this event and @NYMag intentionally left me out of their story because it would have undermined their narrative that MAGA is some racist cult,” Pearson wrote. “They also didn’t include the fact that @WakaFlocka and @Gervontaa were also there.”
“You don’t hate the liberal media enough,” he concluded.
Other black conservatives who attended the event included former Georgia State Representative Vernon Jones, Turning Point USA contributor Rob Smith, and PragerU’s Xaviaer DuRousseau.
Colyar mentioned DuRousseau in the article without revealing that he was black. Pearson, Jones, and Smith were not mentioned at all, per <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/politics/new-york-mag-accused-of-cropping-black-people-out-of-trump-party-it-said-was-nearly-all-white/">Mediaite</a>.
“I was at this party as were MANY other Conservative media influencers who are Black, Latino, Asian, etc,” Smith posted on X. “NYMag used a whites only photo to push the media narrative that diverse Republicans don’t exist and weren’t welcome. You don’t hate the media enough.”
New York Magazine provided the New York Post with a comment on the photo cropping drama. A spokesperson <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/01/28/media/ny-magazine-ripped-for-cropping-black-people-from-trump-party-cover/">said</a>, “The magazine’s most recent cover story explores the new class of conservatives taking Washington by storm, through the lens of inauguration weekend. The cover was cropped to the center of a picture that was published in full online, and we believe both the cover and story provide an accurate impression of the weekend.”
