Three years ago, Sarah Jeong proved that at Asian-American could ascend to the New York Times editorial board despite a history of tweets wanting to cancel “dumba** f**king white people.” Now Condé Nast, publisher of anal sex instruction manual Teen Vogue, says it’s standing by its new editor-in-chief, who has a history of mocking Asians on social media.
Oh, and by the way? That new editor-in-chief is Alexi McCammond, who was in a romantic relationship with President Biden’s former deputy press secretary TJ Ducklo, who threatened to “destroy” a Politico reporter for reporting on his relationship with her.
New: Teen Vogue staffers released a statement tonight saying they "fully reject" new editor-in-chief Alexi McCammond's college tweets mocking Asians. The tweets recirculated this weekend after Condé Nast announced McCammond was the new Teen Vogue EIC. https://t.co/9YZUwCc4RX

It's referenced in the statement, but I'm told staff sent a letter to Anna Wintour and CEO Roger Lynch expressing concerns about the hire https://t.co/9YZUwCc4RX

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
