WRONGTHINK: Liberal Columnist Jonathan Chait Admits He’s Sort Of Glad Trump Won, Leftists Go Nuts

On Thursday, the Huffington Post revealed an absolute bombshell: liberal columnist Jonathan Chait of New York magazine announced at an all-hands staff meeting that a part of him was glad — yes, glad! — that President Trump had won the Oval Office. According to the Huffington Post‘s Ashley Feinberg, Chait, among others on the magazine’s editorial staff, was asked whether any part of him was happy that Trump had won, thanks to the possibility of more exciting content. While others including writer-at-large Rebecca Traister demurred, Chait answered honestly, the Post reported:

“Traister went first and gave the right answer, which is ‘no,’” one employee, who’s been granted anonymity to speak freely about an off-the-record meeting, told HuffPost. “She said there isn’t ‘a single molecule’ of her that is happy Trump won and that we’ll all face repercussions for generations.” Chait, however, answered the question with an affirmative “one hundred percent.”…. According to the staffer, Chait said with a laugh: “Maybe that makes me a sociopath.” Some of the employees in attendance said the group was stunned by Chait’s response; others were less surprised to hear this sentiment come from a self-described disenfranchised white man.
