Fair. These women earned that comparison:
Mae Jemison > Gayle King.
Ms. Jemison is the real model of a proper astronaut. a scientist!
Gayle King is teevee fluff whose “accomplishment” is being Oprah’s girlfriend.
Slight quibble: the first woman in that photo array – Valentina Tereshkova – didn’t earn a COMPARISON to anyone, because she’s the OG.
It’s almost like white supremacists are violent assholes bent on killing a whole bunch of people… But I heard there were very fine people on BOTH sides… /s
NEW reporting from the NYT: “A Bukele aide placed the two glasses with cherries and salted rims on the table in front of Mr. Van Hollen and Mr. Abrego Garcia in the middle of their meeting in an attempt to stage the photo.”
In a deeply disturbing social media post, President Bukele then…
…proclaimed “Kilmar Abrego Garcia, miraculously risen from the ‘death camps’ & ‘torture,’” was “now sipping margaritas with Sen. Van Hollen in the tropical paradise of El Salvador!”
Bukele also maintained Abrego Garcia would be “staying in El Salvador’s custody.”
