The disgraced pundit's comments came in response to an incident earlier this month where Trump told Bloomberg reporter Catherine Lucey to be "quiet, piggy" during a press event, after she pressed him on questions related to Jeffrey Epstein's files. Acosta described the remark as "disgusting" and argued that if a boss spoke to a female employee that way in any other workplace, they would be fired.

11+ min ago (894+ words) For most of his career, Charles Murray carried a strange sort of notoriety.He never asked for it, and he certainly didn't enjoy it, but it clung to him all the same. He was the man who pointed out differences in IQ across groups " differences supported by mountains of data " and was promptly told he was a monster for noticing.It is refreshing to watch a man of his stature poke holes in the pretensions of modern unbelief.To the elite commentariat, acknowledging uncomfortable facts is far more dangerous than denying them. Murray learned that lesson the hard way. The label "racist" followed him for the simple sin of looking at the world as it is, not as fashionable minds say it must be.Now, in his new book "Taking Religion Seriously," he commits a second and perhaps even more…...
