The New York Times released a new statement in the form of an editor’s note in response to an op-ed written by Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) that was published in the newspaper this week. The op-ed argued that the military should be deployed to stop the violent riots and looting that is ravaging inner cities across America.
The editor’s note came after leftist activists at The New York Times and throughout the media—along with far-left lawmakers like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)—exploded in anger over Cotton’s op-ed, claiming without evidence that it put black lives at risk. Cotton made no reference to any racial demographic and instead argued that impoverished communities were the ones most likely to suffer from the lawlessness.
