Gutfeld on San Francisco teacher claiming Bernie Sanders in mittens at inauguration embodies 'White privilege'
Educator slams Vermont senator's inaugural ceremony attire; reaction and analysis on 'The Five'
What do you see when you see an older man in giant mittens?
If you say, "Mike Tyson at a rematch," you'd be right.
It’s the same, if you said, "Bernie Sanders at the inauguration."
But if you say, "ah, that’s proof of white privilege," you're an attention-seeking teacher pushing a mind-cult.
SAN FRANCISCO TEACHER SAYS BERNIE SANDERS' MITTENS EPITOMIZED WHITE 'MALE PRIVILEGE'
A public school teacher, writing in an op-ed for the San Francisco Chronicle, says that Bernie’s mittens and puffy jacket on inauguration day embodied White, male, and class privilege. (She left out bald and near-sighted privilege.) But his apparel at that event proved systemic racism.

So in this world where polarization is the word of the day -- why spread more polarizing dogma?
Because that sells. Every idea is reduced to a click-bait thesis. And it’s killing us.
Literally.

The reductions in policing were obviously linked to cries of systemic racism. But now you see that the dramatic rise in victims who are Black.
So while it’s a laugh to think mittens are racist -- after 2020 the joke isn't that funny anymore.
