The Washington Post’s Jennifer Rubin was roasted online as a hypocrite after posting a photo of herself sporting a pro-Kamala Harris shirt with a racial message.
The leftwing newspaper’s opinion columnist has come under fire for encouraging so-called journalists to resign after the Los Angeles Times decided not to endorse a candidate in the presidential race. When WaPo soon followed with its own non-endorsement, Rubin remained silent.
But she did take to social media to virtue-signal with a t-shirt, securing herself a resounding flogging on X where her hypocrisy and elitism were called out for all to see.

On her X account, Rubin refers to herself as a “NeverTrump, pro-democracy opinion writer” and she celebrated decisions by others in the business for standing on their principles.
When journalist Sewell Chan announced his resignation, Rubin declared, “Bravo. All respect,” with another post reading, “And where are the rest of them?”
Yesterday @JRubinBlogger applauded an LAT Times editor who resigned when the paper refused to endorse. She asked “where are the rest of them?” expecting more resignations
Now that WaPo is not endorsing, resigning from the paper seems like the honorable thing for her to do. pic.twitter.com/CfV8zutnzp

But there was no similar stand by Rubin who was jabbed on X.
If Jen “We aren’t going back” Rubin doesn’t resign, she will forever be known as a coward and a traitor to her new family, The Democrats. https://t.co/nL9Piy6eek

Complicit Jen Rubin won’t resign in solidarity with her comrades. She likes money and isn’t serious about her political ideology. https://t.co/T8WwwYSEBX

Did Jen Rubin quit yet?

Rubin did, however, thank those who had “reached out” after canceling their subscriptions.
“To the dozens and dozens of readers who have reached out over the last 24 hours I am very sad to see you go but am touched more than I can say by your words and your loyalty,” she wrote.
But when the 62-year-old donned her pro-Kamala Harris t-shirt she set herself up for a brutal backlash.
“Rosa sat so Ruby could walk so Kamala could run,” Rubin’s shirt declared, sporting images of civil rights icons Rosa Parks and Ruby Bridges as well as Vice President Kamala Harris whose parents are Jamaican and Indian.
What a moron.
Yes, Rosa Parks was hoping we’d eventually elect Willie Brown’s mistress to the Oval Office.

Rubin’s post continued to rake in comments with nearly 600,000 views.
Virtue signal a little harder, please
This isn’t nearly cringe and patronizing enough

I love Rosa Parks.
A true hero for equality.
I’m voting for the person who won the Ellis Island Medal of Honor on the same day as Ms. Parks in 1986 – Donald J. Trump. pic.twitter.com/LTjmob5WLF

You are posting selfies when you are supposed to be drafting a stunning and brave resignation letter. Do better.

We’re supposed to believe that this is what “objective journalists” look like.
Just more proof that the media cartel is packed with biased clowns. https://t.co/Q1AhXVjPcp
