‘A great friend’: Audio undercuts Trump US attorney nominee’s disavowal of alleged Nazi sympathizer | CNN Politics

Ed Martin, the Trump-appointed interim US Attorney for the District of Columbia and nominee to serve in the role permanently, says he now regrets praising a Capitol rioter who is an alleged Nazi sympathizer — claiming he was unaware of the man’s extremist views at the time.

    FFS, Can we please link to non pay walled articles? This is lemmy, not reddit.

      While I hate paywalls, too, I encourage everyone to click the link anyway.

      Every time you use an archive link, you are one less metric in the voice of telling these sites what you want to read.

      Firefox Reader Mode works just fine for most pay walls, including this one, while still registering the metric for a conversion.

          Me too. Never seen this before for CNN, but I stopped reading it regularly months ago.

          Share it to Firefox, and click the little page in the browser bar to open reader mode. Sometimes you have to refresh it to get past the prompt. Works most of the time, it’s a great trick.

            Reader mode is great, and I’m surprised every time it still works to bypass paywalls

                Listen, jackass. Maybe I don’t want to identify myself to CNN or anything else.

                I run GrapheneOS, I run Fennec and Tor constantly. I have a VPN running. Why the actual fuck should I bother to log into CNN to see some shit-ass article when the culture of Lemmy is to be what Reddit is NOT.

                So, fuck off with your “fuck off” statement.

                This is Lemmy, not Reddit.

                  I know where I’m at, which is why I’m surprised you expect people who actually contribute posts to cater to you so much. That’s peak reddit entitlement.

                  I see your “fuck off” and and raise you 3 “eat shits” and one “go fuck yourself”

                  As an aside, you are far less cool than you think. Dickhead.
