Apparently, we have some wingnuts ranting away about this video clip and Dorothy Brown, because she wrote something once that associated “white supremacism” with CRT, but in the video she says it had nothing to do with white supremacy or the KKK, etc.

I’ve come to know this wingnut tactic very well — seize on an insignificant but related detail that’s stated wrongly or can be distorted, then just keep obsessively yelling about that minor point and get as many flying monkeys as possible to do it too. Deflection is the goal.

Seen this one so much that I just stop engaging with anyone who pulls it on me; it’s a mark of a dishonest arguer, and engaging it simply feeds the pathology.
