"Yes, I believe that the law should treat abortion like any other homicide...I have hanging more in mind."
-- Kevin Williamson, (@KevinNR) September 28, 2014
Jeffrey Goldberg knows that he hired a troll. But he thinks readers should give him a second chance.
The Atlantic editor in chief issued a memo to the magazine’s staff this week, explaining his decision to hire conservative writer Kevin Williamson as a columnist for the magazine’s new ideas section. In addition to making the thought leader’s now-familiar case for ideological diversity, Goldberg wrote that he likes to “give people second chances and the opportunity to change.” This is an odd justification for a terrible and high-profile hire at one of the country’s most venerable political magazines.
