"This has been a wild and difficult week," Lavin said in the tweet. "I owe ICE agent Justin Gaertner a sincere apology for spreading an rumor about his tattoo. However, I do not think it is acceptable for a federal agency to target a private citizen for a good faith, hastily rectified error."

There's nothing "good faith" about nazi accusations.

Lavin said she "was also a useful foil: a fat Jewish feminist with a Harvard education. ICE said I ‘baselessly slandered an American hero,’ artificially pitted me against a disabled veteran, and engineered a conservative news cycle in which I was a villain."

SJWs are all cannibals as well as being insane. If there is no other food source, they will feed on each other. In some extreme circumstances, some SJW specimens will even eat themselves.

Death is too good for her. She should be thrown out of a sharknado helicopter.

Ironic that she is a "fact checker" for the New Yorker. True to form for her ilk.

Univ of Phx has now become more respected than Harvard.

Yes, the foxes guarding the henhouse.

Typical fricking libtard journalist. It's their job to scrutinize and lie about the right, but God forbid you call them out on their bullshite.

If she had been better at checking facts she would still have her job. Fact.

ICE also lied about me, saying I originated the scrutiny of Gaertner's tattoo, misspelling my name, and misstating my job. I watched this become a story that spread from the National Review to the Daily Caller, NY Post, Daily Mail, all the way down to Tiger Droppings dot com.

What a coont.

Falsely accuse a federal employee of racism in a hit piece and wonder why their agency hits back at you over it.

I look at it as typical eastern elitism at work.

A bunch of fans of a southern football school just helped smack this Harvard educated NYC windbag back into place and they are sore over it because they are so sure they are better than us.
