Andrew Feldman questioned whether the United States was ready to elect a female president on the Hill TV show Rising with Krystal & Saagar yesterday, echoing similar responses to Hillary Clinton’s defeat at the 2016 presidential election.

According to Rep. Bobby Rush (D-IL), cops are “the sworn enemy of Black people.” Black Lives Matters’ (BLM) Patrisse Cullors puts it this way: “It’s not possible for the entity of law enforcement to be a compassionate, caring governmental agency in Black communities.” Even Olivia Benson of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, who seems the model progressive crimefighter, needs to be hated. “No matter how much you love Olivia Benson,” says Rolling Stone, “you have to be willing to grapple with the fact that she plays a major role in perpetuating the idea that cops are inherently trustworthy and heroic....
