Count on Squirrel-Hair to make it worse

He still hasn't responded with action to the insistence by principled figures on the right such as John Podhoretz or the editors of National Review or Ben Shapiro to explicitly and forthrightly denounce white supremacy advocacy. Still all vague and tepid on the matter.

But man, was he quick to jump on a specific person on Twitter this morning. You won't be surprised to know that it's because he felt publicly spurned by this person. Dissed. And you don't do that to Squirrel-Hair without coming in for some 140-character wrath.

The person in question was Merck CEO Kenneth Frazier, who has resigned from the President's American Manufacturing Council.

I don't mention a person's race in LITD posts unless there's a definite reason for doing so. It's true that Frazier is black, which ought to be neither here nor there, but it doesn't take a lot of presumption to assume that that figured into his resignation, given that his stated reason was the above-mentioned absence of a specific condemnation of the type of bigotry central to the Charlottesville story.

In any event, Squirrel-Hair is using the move as an occasion to

• digress from the subject at hand
• display his ignorance of the economics of the pharmaceutical industry
• display his thin skin
• express himself in the most boneheaded way he possibly could

Now that Ken Frazier of Merck Pharma has resigned from President's Manufacturing Council,he will have more time to LOWER RIPOFF DRUG PRICES!

It will be interesting to see how his drooling devotees spin this, and you know they will.
