Nina Jankowicz Is Now a Victim, Of Course

That's how the game is played

Who knew it was this easy to get government functionaries to stop doing something you don’t like? All you need to do is yell at them for a few weeks and they’ll fold like a cheap suit. And the best part is, then they can paint themselves as victims. They sure do love being victims.

Yesterday Nina Jankowicz announced the dissolution of the short-lived, lame-brained “Disinformation Governance Board,” via her bestie Taylor Lorenz at the Washington Post. I immediately pictured Jankowicz giving her first tearful TV interview about the fiasco:

“It was so horrible. Th-those evil c-c-conservatives… quoted me!”

Because that’s what happened. Jankowicz is on the record doing and saying a lot of crazy stuff, and people noticed. They quoted her. That’s all it took.

Do you want this person “adding context” to anything you say? I sure don’t, but then, I’m an American.

So Jankowicz instantly became a laughingstock, crushing her dreams of telling us all what we can and can’t say. Even Joe Biden can take only so much humiliation.

Well, Jankowicz didn’t actually weep on-air during her interview on MSNBC last night, but she sure did whine a lot.

Yeah, she’s a victim, we get it.

Jankowicz’s comrades at the NYT are also glad to spread that lie on her behalf:

The Department of Homeland Security suspended the work of a panel focused on combating disinformation after what the department described as a deliberate disinformation campaign about the purpose of the group.

“A Panel to Combat Disinformation Becomes a Victim of It.” No, it most certainly did not. This is an example of — drum roll, please — disinformation!

Jankowicz has been brought down by plain old information. There’s nothing dis- about it. She was quoted accurately and in context, and her idiotic “Disinformation Governance Board” collapsed like Biden climbing a flight of stairs.
