Washing Post gets woman fired
The Washington Post's Halloween Costume Hit Job Is a New Low for Cancel Culture
This is getting out of control.
She wore a blackface halloween costume 2 years ago. It was mocking Megyn Kelly.
The most pathetic people in the world couldn't let it go, so brought it up 2 years later.
Now she has been fired.

Why did they wait 2 years? Couldn't she possibly sue due to the fact she was allowed to carry on working for 2 years after the incident? I mean, it's in poor taste and she should know better but I see no reason why she should be sacked 2 years after the fact.
I doubt she informed her employer of the incident. Apparently she left in tears. She didn't work for the Washington Post, she attended a party hosted by someone who did. Some people are still so triggered they had to write an article about this in the WP 2 years later, I guess cuz...George Floyd?
Then when the women lets her own employer know about the upcoming Post article, they fire her.
Basically her crime was a joke costume done in poor taste in proximity to someone connected to the WP.
Also:
"At the 2018 party at the home of The Washington Post’s editorial cartoonist, in addition to several Ruth Bader Ginsburgs, someone dressed as the “Mueller Witch Hunt” and Post columnist Dana Milbank came as just-confirmed Supreme Court Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh, complete with a beer-dispensing device on his head."
lol, they're trying so hard to out-woke each other. Fascinating.
"Employees of The Washington Post, including a prominent host, were involved in this incident, which impelled us to tell the story ourselves thoroughly and accurately while allowing all involved to have their say," the Post spokesperson told Fox News. "The piece conveys with nuance and sensitivity the complex, emotionally fraught circumstances that unfolded at the party attended by media figures only two years ago where an individual in blackface was not told promptly to leave."
Translation: terrible people work at the washington post, and that terribleness has nothing to do with them failing to kick a woman in blackface out of a party
And I bet you they were bullied into this out of fear *they* would be called racist if they didn't write about it. So they used their paper to toss an innocent person under the bus.

It does seem a bit excessive. You have to be a fairly bitter and jaded person to make everything about your life mocking others and virtue signaling like that. What kind of toxic people are they really?

i honestly don't feel anyone should truly be canceled for blackface from years ago, i just loved pointing out the hypocrisy

Where is the hypocrisy? Justin Trudeau is Prime Minister of Canada. The Washington Post is a Washington, D.C. newspaper. How is the HR department at the Washington Post supposed to fire Justin Trudeau exactly?
