As I posted separately, there is definitely a lot of Mona-hating in Bulwark commentary. From what I've seen, she's the least popular of Bulwark contributors. I just don't feel this is justifiable, though it's just my opinion and someone has to be the least liked.
As you say, in this particular case, all she said was that he didn't break a law because what little law their is is quite squishy, which she believes is a concern. She definitely thinks what he's done is not good and that we need better accountability for SCOTUS justices.
Thanks for adding to what she said. Also, I am not a Mona-hater. I don't read all of her stuff like I do Charlie's and JVL's, but when I do, I find her arguments are backed up with facts and mostly persuasive. Every time she's on Thurs Night Bulwark, I find her commentary to be measured and thoughtful. So I don't understand the hating.
Agreed, Sandy. I feel like many commentors just can't quit with the flippant responses altogether, even at The Bulwark. They appear to have settled on Mona as their target. It's lame and I dislike it intensely. Even the ones who are clearly intelligent become instantly stupid in their meanness.
It seems like a lot of the more lefty women here just have a hard time figuring out why a Mona exists. She's like some kind of exotic creature they don't know how to deal with.
Thanks for reading it so I didn’t have to. That’s not totally a slam on Mona Charen. There’s enough other news I’ve kinda skirted the Thomas story.
I’m approaching information overload.
Understood, but Mr. Lewandowski implied "it's all good" is what Mona said. She said the opposite.

Maybe that's it. I have known many Monas and they don't trigger me- and I fell off the left edge decades ago.
Agree they are mostly flippant responses. (Good word. Synonyms for flippant are superficial and thoughtless.) So not worth my time to respond to.
