Josh Gerstein of Politico is facing an avalanche of critical responses on Twitter/X over a post he published on Monday night in which he implied that Somali daycare centers might start justifiably shooting people for knocking on their doors and asking questions, under ‘Stand Your Ground’ laws.
He was responding to the explosive claims made by independent citizen journalist Nick Shirley and the revelations in his recent viral video exposing hundreds of millions in alleged fraud carried out by Somali-owned daycare centers in Minnesota.
Here is Gerstein’s tweet (it’s a screenshot in case he deletes it):
Liberal journalists support ‘Stand Your Ground’ laws now? That’s good to know, I guess. Of course, Democrat controlled Minnesota doesn’t have SYG laws, but let’s take one thing at a time. Baby steps.
The point here is that the media despises people who do their jobs for them, especially when it makes Democrats look bad. Also, the media will rush to attack and discredit anyone who poses a threat to the left. We have seen this repeatedly over the years.
In 2008, Joe the Plumber asked an innocent question about taxes of then-candidate Barack Obama, who offered a horrible answer that made him look bad. The media responded by attacking Joe the Plumber.
When Democrat Congressman Anthony Weiner was engulfed by a sexting scandal, and Andrew Breitbart broke the story, the media didn’t look into the allegations. They attacked Andrew Breitbart.
This is what they do. They are Democrat operatives first and journalists second. They prove this to us all the time.

The responses to Gerstein’s tweet came in fast and furious.
These classic tweets from David Burge, AKA Iowahawk and Jim Treacher are evergreen.
