“Wine Moms” and “AWFULs” – MAGA’s new slurs on women with Molly Jong-Fast
Description
The public executions of Renée Nicole Good and Alex Pretti by ICE in Minneapolis have horrified America. Now the Trump Administration is slandering Good and any woman who protests as a trivial, out-of-control “Wine Mom” or an “AWFUL”: Affluent White Female Urban Liberals. What are these new iterations of the hated “Karen” meme telling us about the misogyny that powers MAGA – and Trump’s vulnerability? Podcaster and New York Times writer Molly Jong-Fast takes Andrew Harrison on a tour of the politics that cannot bear women who speak up.
• “Who are the AWFULs? Trump hates them, so they’re doing something right” by Molly Jong-Fast.
