San Francisco Chronicle Op-Ed: Bernie Sanders “Manifests” White Privilege, Male Privilege, Class Privilege

It was written by a high school teacher.

An op-ed in the San Francisco Chronicle (paywalled) asserts that socialist Bernie Sanders is a manifestation of “white privilege, male privilege, and class privilege.”

The piece, published in the Chronicle‘s “open forum” part of their opinion section, was penned by Ingrid Seyer-Ochi, a former professor and principal who now teaches at a high school in the San Francisco Unified School District.

Seyer-Ochi begins her op-ed by describing how she “processed the Capitol insurrection” with her high school students and then the inauguration of Joe Biden two weeks later. “We saw diversity, creativity and humanity, and a nation embracing all of this and more,” she wrote.

But then Bernie Sanders came out of nowhere with his “puffy jacket and huge mittens, distant not only in his social distancing, but in his demeanor and attire.” An image of Bernie looking grumpy and uninterested while sporting a mask and those mittens spread like wildfire, quickly becoming the basis for a barrage of memes over the next several days.

Despite Seyer-Ochi’s best efforts to focus with her students on “gender” and the “possible meanings” of the clothing worn by Kamala Harris, DR. Jill Biden, et al, Bernie and his mittens just kept on distracting her.

“And there, across all of our news and social media feeds, was Bernie: Bernie memes, Bernie sweatshirts, endless love for Bernie. I puzzled and fumed as an individual as I strove to be my best possible teacher. What did I see? What did I think my students should see? A wealthy, incredibly well-educated and -privileged white man, showing up for perhaps the most important ritual of the decade, in a puffy jacket and huge mittens,” she wrote.

Lest anyone think she’s comparing Bernie with the “white supremacist insurrectionists” at the Capitol on January 6, Seyer-Ochi says she does not mean to “overstate the parallels” between the two. BUT, she adds, “he manifests privilege, white privilege, male privilege and class privilege, in ways that my students could see and feel.”

And there it is. Bernie was “manifesting privilege when seemingly no one else did.” Seyer-Ochi claims she “struggled” to explain it to her undoubtedly aghast students.

“I am beyond puzzled as to why so many are loving the images of Bernie and his gloves,” she says. “I don’t know many poor, or working class, or female, or struggling-to-be-taken-seriously folk who would show up at the inauguration of our 46th president dressed like Bernie. Unless those same folk had privilege. Which they don’t.”

And once again, the line between satire and reality has entirely blurred. It’s nothing short of a tragedy that people like Seyer-Ochi are teaching your children. Homeschool if you can!

CNN propagandist Soledad O’Brien appeared before Congress on Wednesday as the Democrats’ expert on combating “misinformation.”

During the hearing, she called for her competitors to be censored and for alternative perspectives from the globalist-mandated consensus to be crushed.

“When news organizations make decisions based on ratings rather than responsible reporting, disinformation flourishes in dangerous ways,” O’Brien said while appearing before Congress.

“Cover the fact that lies and propaganda are being disseminated, but do not book people to lie on your show, because it elevates them and presents a lie as another side. Stop posing every story as having two sides, some stories, in fact, have many many sides, and are more complicated. And also, lies don’t have a side,’ she added, describing her vision for how news should be covered.

However, if O’Brien’s advice were taken by newsrooms, she would never be allowed on anymore due to her record of spreading reckless conspiracy theories about Trump being a Russian asset and other nonsense.

News aggregator @amuse posted some of O’Brien’s greatest hits on the fake news leader over the past few years:

Big League Politics has reported on other times in which O’Brien humiliated herself by posting falsehoods:

As usual, members of our esteemed media were caught lying on Wednesday, this time about the motivations for President Donald J. Trump’s visit to Iraq to visit troops.

Much ado was made when Trump did not visit Iraq on Christmas Day. NBC said that he was the first president not to visit the troops as Christmastime, only to correct themselves after Trump left for Iraq late Tuesday night. This led leftists conclude that the media had “shamed” Trump into visiting our fine soldiers.

“Shaming him seems to work,” CNN’s Soledad O’Brien said in reply to a Tweet by Brit Hume.

Hume had noted that by the time left-wing actress had blasted Trump for not visiting the troops, he had already visited them. Hume blasted O’Brien for her apparent lack of understanding of the concept of time.

“Yes Ma’am,” he said. “Trump read this Tweet when it was posted and time-traveled himself back to yesterday and flew to Iraq. Genius take.”

… What was wrong was the assumption that Trump had to be “shamed” to visiting the war zone. Embarrassingly, these leftists were proved wrong by leftist POLITICO.

“According to a White House official, the Trump administration had been planning the trip for more than six weeks,” said a Wednesday POLITICO piece.

Of course, the piece chided Trump for not being able to keep his trip a secret, citing two of Trump’s remarks about a potential trip to a war zone.

The Democrats are shameless in pushing their Orwellian agenda. They are at war with objective reality and will stoop to unfathomable depths to achieve absolute power.
