Stockton Rush deserves to die for backing GOP

Donated to political candidates the New Republic dislikes, as OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush did?

Then you definitely should die in an undersea tragedy. 

That was the robust implication of a very gross piece the left-wing rag pumped out Wednesday concerning the lacking Titanic sub, bearing the headline “OceanGate CEO Lacking in Titanic Sub Had Historical past of Donating to GOP Candidates.” 

Take into account: There’s zero hope left. The craft’s oxygen provide is much previous its restrict, even when hypothermia didn’t doom the passengers the primary day.  

But TNR’s Daniel Strauss thought it mattered that “Stockton Rush, the CEO of OceanGate at the moment caught on the lacking Titan submersible that was operating a vacationer expedition of the Titanic wreck, has been a constant Republican donor through the years.”

What attainable relevance might this should the Titanic sub story? 

None — which the journal implicitly admitted by deleting its tweet on the article. 

It nonetheless exhibits how progressives routinely settle for the concept that being on the fallacious aspect of the political aisle means you benefit a grisly loss of life. 

And it’s not simply TNR.

Lefty MSNBC authorized commentator Elie Mystal tweeted of the affair: “Subsequent time some wealthy white individual needs to take Sam Alito on an costly journey, please take him to see the Titanic.”

Think about the outrage if a right-leaning commentator at a number one information community “joked” a few liberal justice suffocating on the ocean flooring.

Strauss and Mystal are on the staff that shouts about compassion whereas stoking limitless racial resentment and main social media campaigns towards anybody who dissents from their orthodoxy. 

Nonetheless, publicly cheering and/or wishing for the painful loss of life of these on the opposite aspect (and in a pathetic bid for clicks!) units a disgusting new low.
