JUST IN: Liberal Outlet Under Fire After Stunning Anti-Trump Piece Backfires Spectacularly

A stunning piece of anti-Trump reading material from New York Magazine is being ripped to shreds after the conservative guests who hosted its author accused them of purposely excluding Republicans of color from their coverage.

Titled “The Cruel Kids’ Table,” the magazine’s cover story delves into the world of young and powerful conservative influencers who have come to define the 2024 election of President Donald Trump. On the eve of his inauguration, features writer Brock Colyar tagged along for an “obnoxious victory lap” by conservatives at the Power 30 Awards, a ceremony honoring the biggest MAGA influencers of the election.

The 4,200-word piece is dripping with disdain as Colyar admits he “woke up sick” after the party, where he writes attendees were almost entirely white.

“Almost everyone is white. The men look like Pete Hegseth, in bow ties and black suits, with clean-shaven faces. The women are almost all out of their league,” Colyar writes.

Not so, replied Rob Smith, a powerful figure in Turning Point USA who was at the party.

“I was at this party as were MANY other Conservative media influencers who are Black, Latino, Asian, etc.,” wrote Smith, who is Black. “@NYMag used a whites only photo to push the media narrative that diverse Republicans don’t exist and weren’t welcome. You don’t hate the media enough.”

C.J. Pearson, a member of the Republican National Committee’s Youth Advisory Council and host of the event, said the magazine “intentionally” left him out of the story to further their narrative that all young Trump supporters are white bigots.

“I hosted this event and @NYMag intentionally left me out of their story because it would have undermined their narrative that MAGA is some racist cult,” Pearson wrote in response to White, adding that rapper Waka Flocka Flame and boxer Gervonta Davis were in attendance.

He linked back to photos from the event showing an array of diverse young attendees. New York Magazine “accused me of hosting a white-only inauguration rager. I guess none of these black people got the memo?” he facetiously wrote on X.

Glenn Beck picked up on the controversy, announcing he would host Pearson on his show later today to discuss his interactions with the magazine’s reporter.

Colyar, who uses they/them pronouns, currently has an X profile set to private, preventing critics from tagging him as the debate rages. Before working at New York Magazine, Colyar was a fashion writer for Ms. Magazine. He graduated from Northwestern University in 2019 with a degree in gender and sexuality studies.
