The New York Post has unearthed a shocking truth: NPR’s incoming CEO is a not-so-secret Donald Trump-hating, White-bashing, looting apologist.

Who could have guessed that this would turn out to be the case?

Oh my. This woman is … really something. I'm not talking about the highlighted Trump tweet here, but the fact she's a looting apologist / "all white women are racists" type. https://t.co/Qz8VjMUcSw

Not me, because Katherine Mahar scrubbed her Twitter feed in order to hide her less-than-balanced views. It’s not clear when she did it–perhaps when she was CEO of Wikipedia? But the unearthed tweets demonstrate that she is not exactly sympathetic to people who are White, Orange, or unpersuaded that racial justice includes allowing the looting of our cities.

National Public Radio’s new CEO Katherine Maher appeared to have scrubbed her social media of hyper-partisan, left-leaning posts before rising to the helm of the government-backed news network.

“Donald Trump is a racist,” the former chief executive of the Wikimedia Foundation — the nonprofit behind the online encyclopedia — posted on Twitter in 2018, according to a snapshot of the tweet on the site Archive.Today.

It’s unclear when or why Maher deleted the post from her account, or if it was related to her new gig at NPR, which touts its “fact-based reporting; opinion and commentary are secondary.”

There is nothing particularly shocking or original about Maher’s opinion about Trump, although it is actually among the least true criticisms of the Orange Man. Accusing a Republican of racism is more of a kneejerk reaction than an actual expression of an opinion.

I suspect if somebody were testing her physical reflexes, they could hit her on the knee and get this response.

No, her other deleted tweets are a bit more interesting because they demonstrate that Maher is not just a liberal, but a full-fledged Leftist.

She once justified the shoplifting epidemic in Los Angeles on the sins of slavery.

“I mean, sure, looting is counterproductive. But it’s hard to be mad about protests not prioritizing the private property of a system of oppression founded on treating people’s ancestors as private property,” Maher wrote in 2020 on Twitter, which has since been rebranded as X.

Maher, 40, also told her 26,500-plus X followers that same year that “white silence is complicity.”

“If you are white, today is the day to start a conversation in your community,” she urged.

However, she had admitted shortly prior to using “that hysteric white woman voice.”

“I was taught to do it. I’ve done it. It’s a disturbing recognition. While I don’t recall ever using it to deliberately expose another person to immediate physical harm on my own cognizance, it’s not impossible. That is whiteness,” Maher posted.

Maher said “whiteness” is something she’s fallen victim to in a thread on X — blaming her fourth-grade history classes for “misrepresenting some things.”

“I grew up feeling superior (hah, how white of me) because I was from New England and my part of the country didn’t have slaves, or so I’d been taught,” Maher added in the thread.

It says something really bad about you if you think your moral purity is based on what people hundreds of years ago did.

It means you are stupid, for one thing. Morally vacuous, for another. And brainwashed, too.

I could go on, but you get the idea.

Maher lost her moral standing, though, when she discovered that New England briefly allowed slavery. Of course, at the time, slavery existed nearly everywhere on Earth, especially including on the African continent. If the actions of ancestors genuinely reflected the moral standing of people today–something only an insane person believes–then I would think the relatively early outlawing of slavery would be more relevant.

But no. Guilt must be assigned, and Whiteness must be countered. Have a conversation about it.

No doubt you, like me, already suspect that NPR is not quite as down-the-middle as they claimed to be. I have suspected as much for months, even a year or two.

But I still find it sad to see that my suspicions turned out to be correct. I had always held out hope that NPR would be the last bastion of truly nonpartisan and nonideological journalism, and now my hopes have been shattered.

Sigh. I blame the New York Post for shattering my last illusion about fairness in the MSM.
