‘Yes she is’: A story on shoplifting at CVS led to a GOP congressman calling out a reporter for being Jewish – https://www.dailydot.com/debug/mike-collins-antisemitism-accusations/
““In case you were wondering, yes she is,” wrote the X account @GarbageHuman23 in response to a New York Post story about a Washington Post feature on how a D.C. CVS store “got spun by the culture wars into a symbol for America’s shoplifting panic.”
The New York Post article took issue with reporter Maura Judkis writing that “America is a sticky-fingered nation built on stolen land” and argued Judkis implied there is “ancestral guilt about stealing and colonization at play in this ‘moral panic.’”
The response from GarbageHuman23—an apparent reference to Judkis’ Jewish heritage—caught the attention of Collins, who replied: “Never was a second thought.””
