17 unambiguous clapbacks to this Spectator columnist’s wild claim that ‘We are all MAGA’
If you watch any of the many political programmes in the UK, you’ll at least be vaguely familiar with frequent flyer, Kate Andrews.
You won’t be surprised to learn that the Economics Editor at the Spectator, who also writes for the Telegraph, is well and truly on the right of the political spectrum, so you probably wouldn’t have expected her to be – as she claims – a ‘never-Trumper’.
It’s especially difficult to believe after seeing her article in the Spectator, reacting to the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, claiming “Today, we’re all MAGA.”
In it, she references the exchange between a wounded President Ronald Reagan and his doctor, in the aftermath of the attempt on his life. When the President said he hoped the surgeons were Republicans, one replied –
‘Today, Mr. President, we’re all Republicans.’
Of course, there’s a world of difference between basic Republicanism and MAGA. People were not happy to be tarred with that particular brush.

Fuck ALL THE WAY OFF with this take, Kate Andrews.
There is only one side NOT respecting election results.
There is only ONE side threatening to jail political opponents.
And the millions dead BECAUSE of despots would like a WORD.
FUCK. ALL. THE. WAY. OFF. https://t.co/67kbovdVl9 pic.twitter.com/7y05qb7WVx

It's not even ten thirty, and already Kate Andrews has the worst take of the day, the week, the month, and maybe even the year.
(The same Kate Andrews who seems to have a season ticket to appear on just about every political show going, for utterly unfathomable reasons.) pic.twitter.com/AozE5SuvgR

Why after a horrific and terrible shooting would we all join a movement opposed to addressing America’s gun crisis, Kate Andrews of the @spectator? pic.twitter.com/sbe52S5UMP

Look, maybe saying "We're all Americans" but MAGA isn't even a party. It's a collection of rancid racist and fascist ideologies.
So, again, no, Kate. pic.twitter.com/XmfpPRmKiO

I've never had much time for Kate Andrews, but this is her dumbest take ever.
No, I'm not MAGA. That's why I'm horrified by political violence. It's a key difference. We recoil at it. MAGA celebrates and embraces it https://t.co/wOIC5U20HY

Sorry @KateAndrs – just to be clear, you’re saying that if this had happened to Biden you’d have written, “today we’re all Democrats”. And if this had happened to RFK you’d have written, “today we’re all independents”? https://t.co/KaLtGSgcje

Perhaps best of all, and certainly most apt, was this response from Star Trek legend George Takei.
