Screenshot of a Twitter thread from Thomas Chatterton Williams, posted on 13 July 2020. I'm in the middle of nowhere in France and I literally ended up expelling from my house an American friend of a friend staying over who, out of nowhere, started ranting against Bari Weiss. I asked him to simply substantiate the ridiculous claims he was repeating and he couldn't. Bari is my friend. People can disagree with her positions, and she'd be the first to encourage that, but what is so incredible is how many don't even know what they are talking about. And can't even name a single thing she's written that was what got them to hold their opinion. This nonsense is seeping into real life. People just hear that some people are good or bad and are not thinking or reading for themselves. I think a lot of people are misinterpreting this tweet (on purpose). I invited him repeatedly to expound in good faith. He couldn't, and he ended up self-expelling with my encouragement.

The other person was 100% right. Bari Weiss has never said or written or even thought a single thing of value in her 41 years of life.

Getting kicked out for insulting Bari Weiss is a badge of honor they can wear forever. Also what the hell she's only like 2 years older than me but looks 20 years older
