Don't know much about history

Twitchy is often unpleasantly and one-sidedly snarky but occasionally they strike a seam of gold. From Reign of Terror, you say? New York Times editor gets schooled after ridiculing Sen. Lindsey Graham’s French Revolution analogy by Brett T. They need help on headlines as well.

The original tweet from Lindsey Graham is:

It appears the French Revolution has now come to the Democratic Party based on initial primary results from New York and Kentucky.

If you had any doubts about who is in charge of the Democratic Party ALL doubts should have been removed.

To which Dan Salzstein responds.

The French Revolution, you say? In which rising social and economic inequality led to a democratic overthrow of a monarchy and the establishment of a republic? That French Revolution? https://t.co/A4dSz6FAhh

Salzstein being senior editor for special projects at The New York Times. Prior to that, he was an editor at the Travel section. His entire career has been at the NYT. And his educational background which would allow the embarrassment of his comment? Amherst '95, BA in English. Just at the beginning of the Social Justice/Critical Theory era in education where actually learning went out the window. Perhaps a refund might be in order.

Twitchy has some of the more humorously educational responses. A couple of the better ones:

The nightmare of the devolution of the old classical liberal order continues.
