Erick Erickson Criticizing Trump for Sexism Killed Irony Forever

Jesse Berney
While most of the Republican cabal candidates for pretender gather in Atlanta to play tribute to lunatic fringe wingnut Erick Erickson at the annual “Red State Gathering,” Donald Trump will be absent. Erickson disinvited him  after Trump made an ugly menstruation joke about Fox News’ Megyn Kelly.
Congratulations to Erickson for discovering sexism is a thing that exists and can be criticized. The man who vigorously defended Rush Limbaugh for calling Sandra Fluke a “slut” now realizes maybe it’s wrong to sometimes hurl sexism at women — as long as they’re Fox News anchors, anyway.
Let’s be clear: Erickson is an awful human being with his own extensive history of sexism. Here’s just a small sampling of some of the truly vile things he’s said over the years.
