© TwitterThe Atlantic hire Julia Ioffe posing with white nationalist Richard B. Spencer on November 8.
Ioffe was fired from Politico ahead of schedule after posting the following obscene tweet, which has since been deleted but was archived here:
"This was not a first-time thing," the Trump source told GotNews, pointing to "conspiracy theories" written by Atlantic senior editor David Frum about Trump world's ties to Russia.
"It's a far left-wing magazine that's about as relevant as the New Republic. We're getting pretty tired of them calling us anti-Semites while they write hit pieces against our Jewish staffers."
The anonymous staffer who spoke to GotNews also pointed to the recent hiring of BuzzFeed's McKay Coppins, who circulated a discredited rumor that Breitbart News was backed by Trump and who had a reputation of embellishing or making up stories against Trump during the 2016 cycle.
Ioffe was immediately removed from her position at Politico following the tweet:
So far, however, The Atlantic does not seem to be fazed:
Loss of access to the Trump Administration may change that.
The once vaunted center-left Atlantic has been moving in an anti-Russia, anti-Trump direction for several years, against its longstanding pretense of balance. The magazine's editorial bent seems to be pushing a distinctly anti-white agenda with the hiring of Ta-Nehisi Coates, and, believe it or not, even an anti-Gentile one.
This bias hasn't gone unnoticed:
Ioffe has circulated conspiracy theories about Russian President Vladimir Putin as well. Her hiring by The Atlantic was applauded by Russophobic ex-Obama ambassador Michael McFaul:
Julia Ioffe has an infamous Twitter career at this point, including posing for a cheery photograph with white nationalist Richard Spencer:
Former Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway has also taken notice of Ioffe:
Excuse me.........but Didnt Kennedy have his brother as Attorney General???
