An award-winning New York Magazine art critic is not hiding his disdain for right wing politicians.
Jerry Saltz, who has won the Pulitzer Prize, recently told his 603,000 Instagram followers to “shun” anyone in their lives who vote Republican, according to the Daily Mail.
“If you know anyone who voted Republican – including friends and family – you should shun them,” he wrote.
“No need to even tell them that you are no longer communicating with them or why. You own it yourself, to them, your country, and any idea of moral damage,” he said.
He added for good measure, “And yes, they want to bring back lynching.”
Saltz wasn’t done either.
Some lashed back at Saltz on Twitter and Instagram.
Glenn Greenwald wrote: “Excising everyone in your life who has different political views than you – including your parents, siblings and children – seems like a very psychologically unhealthy thing to do.
“Doing that as a journalist seems fatal to the job, and well as psychologically ill.”
Saltz replied to Greenwald: “Republicans, as they are, no longer have what might be called your polite “political views.” They are anti-democratic, authoritarian.
“But you know this already and want to shade things to “both sides.” Fine by me.”
