Surprise! The Same Media That Spent a Week Lecturing People That It Was a Crime to Criticize LTC Vindman Now Flip-Flop and Start Attacking LTC Hickman, For Having The Audacity to Criticize Vindman

It's okay to attack gauche, deplorable veterans.

The New York Times on Thursday covered U.S. Army Lt. Col. Jim Hickman's explosive allegations against Democrat "star witness" Lt. Col. Alexander S. Vindman by casting aspersions on Hickman’s character.

Last week, Hickman divulged on Twitter that Vindman "really talked up" President Barack Obama and ridiculed America and Americans in front of Russian military officers when Hickman worked with him in Grafenwoher, Germany in 2013.

Hickman said that he "verbally reprimanded" then-Major Vindman after he heard some of his derisive remarks for himself. "Do not let the uniform fool you," Hickman wrote. "He is a political activist in uniform."

The Times characterized Hickman’s account as "unsubstantiated," even though it was backed up by his boss at the time. And on Friday, a second individual who witnessed the incident, provided American Greatness with a statement saying Vindman "was uncomfortably supportive of Obama" and "almost self-hating of white Americans."

While Vindman is frequently described in the media as a patriot and a Purple Heart recipient, Hickman was described by Times reporters Mike McIntire and Nicholas Confessore as a "Florida man" and "fan of QAnon" in the story’s fourth paragraph.

Happy Veterans Day from the New York Times.
