An LA Times columnist has been blasted for comparing her Trump-supporting neighbors to Nazi sympathizers and hezbollah.
Virginia Heffernan’s driveway was cleared of snow by her Trump-supporting neighbors, but instead of thanking them she wrote an op-ed noting that even the Nazis were found to be occasionally polite.
RT reports: In a piece in the Los Angeles Times titled, ‘What can you do about the Trumpites next door?’ Virginia Heffernan relayed the mixed emotions she felt after her neighbors “did a great job” plowing the driveway of her upstate New York “pandemic getaway” second home without even being asked. The free snow removal apparently triggered a crisis in propriety because the kind-hearted volunteer plower belongs to a family of Trump supporters. Apparently, Heffernan didn’t know whether to thank them or write an accusatory op-ed about them. She chose the latter.

Describing this selfless gesture as an “act of aggressive niceness,” the Brooklyn-based author said the gesture was comparable to the acts of charity carried out by Hezbollah.
“They offer protection and hospitality and win loyalty that way. And they also demand devotion to their brutal, us-versus-them anti-Sunni cause,” she wrote, referring to the Islamic militant and political group, not to be confused with her next-door neighbor who cleared her driveway of snow for free.
But Heffernan had more bizarre analogies up her sleeve. According to the writer, being nice is a time-honored tactic of all sorts of evil regimes, such as Nazi-occupied France. In her piece, she recalled living with a family in France who described the administration of Vichy France as being “polite.”
She ended her thought-piece by observing that “loving your neighbor is evidently much easier when your neighborhood is full of people just like you.” She added that she was open to working “shoulder-to-shoulder” with her neighbors, but only when they acknowledge the “damage” caused by the last four years under Trump.
The op-ed did not sit well with many political pundits.
“This woman compares her Trump-supporting neighbors, who plowed her driveway, to Nazi sympathizers & Hezbollah & wrestles w/whether to show them any kindness since she ‘can’t give them absolution,’” former Fox and NBC host Megyn Kelly wrote in response to the incendiary op-ed. “Note to Virginia Heffernen’s neighbors: don’t plow again.”
Her comment opened the floodgates to similar remarks expressing disbelief and disgust.
“It’s like people don’t realize that genuine human connection is, in fact, the best way to change hearts and minds,”wrote popular podcaster Katie Herzog.
Another commenter said the op-ed was “shameful” and serves as an example of how “no good deed goes unpunished.”
Others pointed to the ironic aspects of the piece, observing how Heffernan was judging people different from herself based on her belief that they treat people who are not like them differently.
Still, there were those who argued that Heffernan was right to object, arguing that the “idiocy” of Trump supporters doesn’t excuse their acts of kindness.

Same mass media around the world, at least in Spain happens the same with our patriot party VOX, nowadays there are elections in Catalonia, i recommend you to have a look about whats happening there, BLM and Antifa around the world, its time to stop it.
I hope her neighbors never lift a finger to help her or her family ever again, no matter what they are facing. A snowed over driveway, a burst pipe, broken windows, whatever calamity befalls them, let them deal with it themselves. It would also be nice if the local businesses told them to pound sand too.
Does she realize her last name is German? Such cluelessness vitriol by a leftist stooge.
Or Its Scottish, either way viking ancestors. She couldnt be more germanic. What a tool
Democrats constantly display antisocial behaviour and spew hatred more than any Trump supporter ever could. Todays “progressives” combine ignorance victimhood and hatred into one ball of human failure.
These neighbors of her cleared her driveway because thats what real people do for their others, despite their politics.
She sucks.
Always the same always the opposite Its Satanist Saul Aliskys Rule book brainwashing. Rules for radicals .Perversity and hypocrisy is the gist of it .Anyway they lose and actually bring about the end times that seals their fate They bring it on themselves if you read the Bible Like Aleister Crowley ,the product of the plymouth brethren parenting and the man who called himself, the Beast 666, who we r from being the darling ic the upper class set ,with his trust fund lifestyle to ending as a derelict forgotten and neglected living an old whores boarding house ,in a tiny room with no money nothing and just regrets Then death after a wasted life if sodony ,and pedophile sodomy actually and heroin addiction. Penniless and unknown .
At first she thought the neighbors were Covid infected zombie people. Turns out they are just regular old Nazis! Haa! what a relif.
Another rt piece if it .Anyone who tolerates that parasitic spawn of Satan is insufferable hypocritical imo They who sponge of the russian taxpayers in order to do them no good at all ,but actually to do nothing more than publish endless anti american sentiments for benefits if the worlds most privileged elites shouldnt be given any extra free rides at all .They should be ashamed of their deceutfilness and devious seditions of sovereign states with their emotive and sensationalist type of garbage ” news reporting ” .
