He was on the WaPo editorial board for 15 years. how often did he write an editorial? he says that for 13 of those 15 years he didn't write any. then why was he on the WaPo Editorial Board?

He told editor David Shipley he “wanted to leave the editorial board, that fifteen years was long enough. I wanted off the board not only because it was time, but also because the dynamic no longer felt right. For thirteen of those fifteen years, I had not written an editorial.”

“There have been multiple misunderstandings or whatever,” she began. She then said, “I’m sorry.” I don’t recall the words immediately after that because of what came in the next breath. “But I do think use of the word ‘hyperbolic’ is defensible.” In that moment, I thought for sure I was being punked. But that wasn’t even the worst of it. Tumulty then made a pronouncement. “I have a rule: No one should be called a Nazi unless they were an actual Nazi,” she told me. “So for President Biden to call the Georgia voter law ‘Jim Crow 2.0,’ well that’s an insult to people who lived through Jim Crow.”

I sat frozen, gripping the armrests of my chair as I stared at her in disbelief. With that one comment, Tumulty took an incident where I felt ignored and compounded the insult by robbing me of my humanity. She either couldn’t or wouldn’t see that I was Black, that I came to the conversation with knowledge and history she could never have, that my worldview, albeit it different from hers, was equally valid.
