Politico’s top editor, Matt Kaminski, released a statement Thursday defending the outlet’s decision to publish an op-ed by Daily Wire editor emeritus Ben Shapiro, even as leftists, including reportedly some of Politico’s own staffers, decried the publication for daring to publish “an oft-incendiary right-wing commentator,” as the oft-incendiary left-wing Daily Beast puts it.
Nearly as soon as Politico’s morning email, Playbook, hit inboxes, leftists took to Twitter to decry the newsmagazine’s decision to allow Shapiro access to its “signature news product,” melting down over the mere thought of Shapiro gaining access to the outlet’s email audience.
