I Think I Know Which Dem Is Behind the WaPo’s BRUTAL Takedown of Rep. Ro Khanna

When the mainstream media devours one of its own acolytes, your Spidey Sense ought to tingle. After all, outlets like the Washington Post and the New York Times aren’t just held in high regard by the liberal elite; they drive the political narrative. Conservatives lost faith in the mainstream media long ago, but for the Democratic Party establishment, the Post and the Times are still required reading.
...
So, when one of 'em suddenly turns the screws on a high-profile Democratic politician — especially a politician with presidential aspirations — pay extra-close attention. It means some sort of friction was bubbling beneath the surface.
...
That’s harder to say. In the case of the Washington Post’s savage, brutal takedown of Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), it’s probably one of four things:
Theory One: Personal and/or ideological animosity between the journalist and politician. It could be that the author of the piece, James Kirchick, has a bone to pick with Khanna. Kirchick supported Hillary Clinton in 2016, whereas Khanna backed Bernie Sanders, so perhaps this is payback. (Kirchick noted Khanna’s “disloyalty” to the Clintons multiple times.) Kirchick is also a vocal supporter of Israel, has criticized media bias against the Jewish State, and skewered Khanna’s flip-flops on Israel and AIPAC repeatedly in the article, too. ...
Theory Two: Behind-the-scenes, the liberal establishment knows Ro Khanna would be disastrous as a presidential frontrunner, so there’s a campaign to sabotage his 2028 bid for the Democratic nomination before it gains momentum. ...
Theory Three: It’s a hit-piece on behalf of one of Khanna’s 2028 rivals. ...
Theory Four: This proves that the Epstein conspiracy is REAL! After all, the Post is owned by tech billionaire Jeff Bezos [slow wink], and the headline of Kirchick’s piece is, “How Ro Khanna Turned a Sex Trafficking Scandal Into a Campaign Stunt.” Expect the Tin Hat Brigade to connect Khanna’s Epstein obsession with this attack, framing it as retribution from the rich, powerful oligarchs. ...
(By the way, the probability of these four theories was ranked from highest to lowest. If no additional Khanna-bashing articles run in the next 10 days, it was almost certainly #1. ...
The article continues with Khanna's switch from HilLIARyite to Bernie Bro, his recent antics with Doxxing innocents mentioned in the Epstei files, and speculation that Kirchik's source was a shivving minion of CHill the Knife.
