Rich Lowry: Crime is a legitimate issue

Crime isn't a racial issue; it's about affording all Americans, and especially vulnerable communities, the protection they deserve from lawlessness. Obviously, violent crime is not a blight on the lives of upper middle-class white people.

Leonard Pitts Jr.: Are we different from them?

No American woman risks being carted off to jail for allowing too much hair to show from beneath her scarf. On the other hand, she — or her doctor — may face that fate if she has an abortion, thanks to a recent Supreme Court ruling that robbed women of that right.

Leonard Pitts Jr.: We believe Herschel Walker

We get the likes of Marjorie Taylor Greene, Louie Gohmert and Lauren Boebert, people who could not pour water from a bucket if the instructions were printed on the bottom.

Rich Lowry: Stacey Abrams and the perils of hagiography

Abrams has been widely celebrated in the years since her first run for Georgia governor in 2018 which she, of course, lost. Like former President Donald Trump, though, she managed to spin away her defeat to the satisfaction of her supporters as a result of nefarious forces beyond her control.
