Post-Left Watch

Highlighting and keeping receipts on post-left (right-wing politics with vaguely leftist aesthetics) pundits and podcasters.
Roger Waters implies that the private security firm at the WTC was putting "nano-thermite" in the buildings at night in order to do a controlled demolition of the towers. "It's a huge, huge, huge operation, must have been known by hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people."
Roger Waters on Tucker Carlson literally saying "jet fuel can't melt steel beams." Roger Waters: "And the question is, who placed the explosives in it, who pressed the button, who demolished the World Trade Center, and Building 7, and the South Tower? Who did it, and why?"
Roger Waters: "If you look at the film of the North Tower collapsing, you can see all the explosions and the controlled demolition of that building happening in front of your very eyes, and there is no other explanation as to how the North Tower of the World Trade Center fell down."
Roger Waters claims 9/11 was a controlled demolition: Roger Waters: "It looked likely the whole story of controlled demolitions of buildings came out very quickly, not least because Building 7, which was obviously a controlled demolition..."
Michael Tracey wants you to feel sorry for the biggest victims of Jeffrey Epstein: children whose school picture days were delayed or cancelled because a company had alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
Michael Tracey claims that journalists tell him privately all the time that they're becoming more and more skeptical of the Jeffrey Epstein accusations, but they can't say so in public because they're afraid of people calling them pedophiles.
Briahna Joy Gray's guest, Magdalene Taylor, claims that young women are embarrassed to have boyfriends because it's "Republican coded" and their biggest fear is being called a "pick-me."
On Briahna Joy Gray's podcast Bad Faith, guest Magdalene Taylor claims that young women view having a boyfriend and being "actively straight" as embarrassing and a "political failure."
Glenn Greenwald: "It's hard to explain this but, unless you've ever been associated with the left, but the thing about the left is... what they crave most is the ability to denounce and accuse, because that makes them feel good."
Glenn Greenwald says that Graham Platner's accuser saying she needed a glute massage is relevant, and defends Ryan Grim for his repeated insistence that it is important and should have been included in the Politico story. "The left went apeshit against Ryan Grim."
Cenk Uygur claims that false "sexual allegations" are used to manipulate the emotions of female voters in order to stop politicians like Thomas Massie and Graham Platner who would actually represent the voters.
Russell Dobular from Due Dissidence criticizes people who stopped supporting Graham Platner, saying they set a purity standard, calls it "cancel culture," and that eventually they'll run out of people to "rule out of bounds."
Keaton Weiss from the Due Dissidence podcast criticizes the American left as being "infested" with "PMC politics of manners and hall monitoring" for criticizing Ryan Grim and Drop Site News and abandoning Graham Platner. "It's Thomas Massie or bust, is what it's looking like to me."
Cenk Uygur: "All I know with absolute certainty is that evil forces targeted Graham Platner to make sure that a person who was gonna represent the voters, overwhelmingly won the primary, could not represent those voters."
Ana Kasparian sarcastically says of the Graham Platner accusations "But we're the bad guys for questioning the credibility of these allegations that we haven't seen a shred of concrete evidence to back up."
Ana Kasparian says she didn't even really like Graham Platner as a candidate (after defending him from rape accusations) and then whines about how hard it is on him because this didn't go to court, and that it will follow him for the rest of his life. This is revolting.
Ana Kasparian criticizes progressives and leftists for withdrawing their support for Graham Platner over his "controversy." "Make a decision. Is this like a cute, little, like cosplay thing that we're doing, or do you actually want change?"
Cenk Uygur responds to this by bringing up Ana Kasparian being assaulted, and asks "Would you have invited that guy over for a cup of tea? No!" Ana looks displeased that he brought that up. And then Cenk says we shouldn't judge the women involved.
Ana Kasparian says she doesn't find the Graham Platner accusations credible, and then criticizes his accuser for not leaving her home after she was raped.
Ana Kasparian reads this awful tweet from Ryan Grim and says "I agree with him."
Ana Kasparian criticizes the Politico piece on Graham Platner, and adds: "The allegations, in my opinion, and not even in my opinion, based on what we have in front of us, lack concrete evidence that he carried out a serious crime of rape."
Cenk Uygur is guessing that AIPAC and the Israel lobby are behind the Graham Platner accusations. "My guess is... it was people that are part of the Israeli lobby that marked him for destruction."
Ana Kasparian's reason for defending Graham Platner: "I'm looking at the facts we have in front of us right now, and I'm sorry, I just don't think the evidence rises to the occasion of Politico publishing this as if he's already proven guilty as a rapist."
Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian are doubting Graham Platner's accuser, and it's because her therapist didn't issue a statement to Politico confirming what the accuser said to them.
Ana Kasparian is victim-blaming Graham Platner's accuser because she didn't immediately call the cops and force a drunk, violent Platner out of her house. This is fucking vile.
Ana Kasparian doubts the Graham Platner accusations. "I think the allegations are suspicious, I'm just gonna say it. I think Platner's tattoo, and his explanation of how he handled the tattoo, after realizing it was a Nazi tattoo, was way more problematic than these claims."
lmao Briahna Joy Gray's guest quits the interview abruptly after she brings up Force The Vote She will never stop beating that dead horse.
Matt Taibbi: "When I testified before Congress, the behavior of the Democrats was so unbelievably disrespectful, that they gave an enormous boost to people who were against internet censorship, just by being unattractive characters on camera."
