Fox News Caves to Leftist Pressure, Pulls Their Own Editor’s Op-Ed Decrying Identity Politics at Olympics

Fox News published an op-ed by John Moody, executive vice president and executive editor, Wednesday titled “In Olympics, let’s focus on the winner of the race — not the race of the winner,” only to pull the piece under pressure from identity-politics lobbyists and left-leaning media.

By Friday, Fox had removed the editorial – which criticized the heavy focus on the racial and sexual “diversity” of the American team at the upcoming Winter Olympics at PyeongChang, South Korea, to the detriment of the traditional emphasis on athletic prowess – from their website without an explanatory note. When asked, a Fox News representative told Breitbart News only that “John Moody’s column does not reflect the views or values of FOX News and has been removed.”

In his op-ed, Moody slammed Jason Thompson, the U.S. Olympic Committee’s (USOC) “director of diversity and inclusion” for insisting on a Winter Olympics team that “looks more like America.” The Washington Post’s Rick Maese, who wrote up his interview with Thompson, openly admits this, in large part, merely means a team with fewer white people on it. “[T]his year’s U.S. Olympic team, not unlike those of most other nations gathering in PyeongChang this week, is still overwhelmingly white,” he laments.

“We’re not quite where we want to be,” the USOC’s Thompson told Maese about the racial makeup of the American Olympic team, adding later, ““We still have some work to do. … We’re not quite there yet.”

Of the U.S. Winter Olympic team, the Wapo’s Maese writes, “10 are African American — 4 percent — and another 10 are Asian American. The rest, by and large, are white.”

According to 2016 U.S. Census Bureau estimates, white Americans make up 73.3 percent of the U.S. population (62 percent if white-identifying Hispanics are counted separately). Accepting Maese’s estimate that 92 percent of the 2018 U.S. Winter Olympic Team is white, this would mean whites are over-represented by 25.5 percent.

Next, however, Maese notes that the much larger Summer Olympic Team USA has a “strikingly” different racial makeup. “The United States took more than 550 athletes to the 2016 Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro. Of that group, more than 125 were African American — about 23 percent,” he writes.

The same Census Bureau estimates put black Americans at 12.6 percent of the U.S. population, meaning blacks were 82.5 percent over-represented at the summer Olympics. If Maese’s numbers are correct, the combined winter and summer teams feature 135 black American athletes out of 793 total Olympians. That is to say, they are 17 percent black and that African Americans are 35 percent over-represented, significantly more than the 25.5 figure for white Americans at the Winter Olympics that Maese and Thompson call a “lack of diversity” that is a “priority” to rectify.

Nowhere in the Washington Post’s piece about the work in progress to combat the over-abundance of whites on the winter Team USA do Maese or Thompson make any negative implication about the massive over-abundance of...

Muslim Migrant ‘Rapes a 13-Year-Old Schoolgirl’ in Germany After Being Released From Prison for Attempted Rape

An 18-year-old asylum seeker in Germany was just arrested on rape charges — shortly after he was released from prison for a rape charge.

The man, who is not being named in the media, denies the allegations.

But the alleged victim said she was attacked in Esslingen, inside a home.Esslingen, Germany

An Afghan asylum seeker has been accused of raping a 13-year-old girl in Germany.

The 18-year-old man was arrested on Thursday last week after the girl contacted police to say he had attacked her inside a home in Esslingen, near Stuttgart.

The man previously served a year in juvenile detention for attempted rape and was released in December last year under court supervision.

Police and prosecutors in Esslingen said the girl visited the man at his apartment in the city on Monday after becoming friends.

It was in the apartment that he allegedly forced her to have sex against her will.

The girl saw the man in the city’s downtown area again on Wednesday when he threatened her, before she reported the attack to police.

He was arrested at his home the following day, Süddeutsche Zeitung reports. He has denied the allegations.

A spokesman of the German Interior Ministry said it is not possible to tell whether the man will be deported while the investigation is ongoing.

But, the spokesman pointed out, deportation is mandatory for any asylum seeker handed a prison sentence of three years or more.

Asylum seekers can also be deported if they have received a prison sentence between one and...

ATTEMPTED MASS POISONING: ILLEGAL ALIEN POURED DRAIN KILLER INTO FOOD AT FLORIDA RESTAURANT

LAKELAND, FL (The Miami Herald) – Pleading guilty to putting lye in sauce led to a seven-year prison sentence for a Florida restaurant worker — and possibly more punitive action at the federal level.

Margarito Padilla began serving his sentence Monday, according to Florida Department of Corrections records.

On Tuesday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Tampa office filed a detainer on the 54-year-old Guadalajara, Mexico, native, meaning ICE wants to know when Padilla finishes doing his time.

Padilla’s employment at a Hibachi Express in Lakeland ended last June, after franchise owner Zhong Jiang thought the Yum-Yum sauce refrigerated in a 55-gallon barrel didn’t look so yummy. He took a taste off a single-dipped finger.

“The victim’s mouth immediately began burning and he described the pain as a cutting of his tongue and mouth,” the arrest report read.

After asking the employees about the sauce and getting no explanation, Jiang announced he was calling police. Padilla asked Jiang to refrain from calling the cops, heightening Jiang’s suspicion, according to the report.

Via surveillance video review, Jiang saw Padilla kneeling next to where the restaurant kept the Plumbers Choice Lye industrial strength drain cleaner. He noticed a flat pocket when Padilla first kneeled and a bulging pocket when he rose. The pocket deflated to flat after Padilla swung by a sink briefly holding a container of Yum-Yum sauce.

When first interviewed by Lakeland police, Padilla denied anything before cops played the video. He then admitted he had contaminated the sauce because he...

Obama’s Cash Payout to Iran Traced Back to Terror Groups

Barack Obama’s cash payout of $1.7 billion, some or all of it, has been traced back to terror groups.

We all know that Iran sends cash to their favorite terrorists. The cash is used to cover their tracks. Despite that, Barack Obama sent the money we “owed them” in three separate cash payments? That was $1.7 billion that should have been preserved until a lawsuit was settled seeking restitution by the families of soldiers and civilians murdered by Iran.

Why did Barack Obama send the world’s largest sponsors of terrorism any money, much less cash?

In September 2016, the State Department’s Spokesman Mark Toner finally acknowledged that the U.S. used three separate payments, each in hard foreign currency to settle a dispute with Iran over frozen Iranian assets.

TERRORISTS NOW HAVE THE MONEY

What you won’t hear in the mainstream media is that the government traced that money back to terror groups, including Hezbollah and other smaller groups.


In a sane world, people would care that Barack Obama, John Kerry and others in the former administration gave nearly two billion dollars to a terrorist nation that wants to destroy the United States and Israel. They knew “some” of it would go to terrorism. John Kerry acknowledged it...
