MORE FROM THE GOOD ENOUGH FOR THEE BUT NOT FOR ME VIRUS CHRONICLES, THE NEW YORK TIMES: OBAMA'S MASKLESS PARTY WAS FINE, FILLED WITH "SOPHISTICATED" FOLKS

A New York Times reporter received backlash on social media after making a comment on another network that critics believe dismissed concerns about former President Obama’s star-studded maskless birthday party over the weekend.

New York Times White House Correspondent Annie Karni discussed the controversy surrounding Obama’s much-criticized Martha’s Vineyard celebration where he was seen not wearing a mask and used the term “sophisticated” crowd, saying that the guests were “following all the safety precautions.”

The clip sparked outrage on social media including from journalist Glenn Greenwald who wondered aloud why more people weren’t concerned about the spread of the delta variant of the coronavirus at Obama’s party.

“A NYT reporter on CNN justifying Obama’s huge maskless birthday bash because he only invited “a sophisticated, vaccinated crowd” is about as emblematic of liberal discourse as it gets,” Greenwald tweeted. “What happened to all the concerns about vaccinated people passing Delta to the unvaccinated?” MORE AT https://nypost.com/2021/08/09/nyt-reporter-faces-backlash-over-comments-about-obama-party/
