Washington Post tried to smear me for criticizing race theory and failed

By Thomas A. Smith

Only the Post s story rested on a bed of lies. Among other things, Meckler and Dawsey fabricated the timeline of events surrounding my involvement with former President Donald Trump s executive order on CRT; incorrectly claimed that a Cupertino, Calif., diversity lesson I exposed never happened; and insisted that my reporting about the US Treasury Department s diversity programs was false.

After the article was published, I went through it line-by-line and made a point-by-point rebuttal on social media and to The Washington Post s editors. Within 48 hours, the paper s story had collapsed.

I thought about linking to Christopher’s twitter stream, but there wasn’t an obvious way to do it. But this little incident shows how social media can be used to speak out back to legacy media. Without Twitter, Ruffo would have been roadkill. As it is, legacy media’s attacks on him only only bolster his case. Good for you, Mr. Ruffo.
