Linda Sarsour is Better at Namecalling and Victimhood Than Anything Else

There is no doubt that this is Linda Sarsour's moment.

At no other time in history would anyone have taken her seriously. It's not just that the left has a burning fetish for Islamists these days. At no point in time has that been more so. Even post 9/11. 

It's that her worthless skillset of namecalling, fake outbursts of narcissistic victimhood passed off as courage, meshes perfectly with the left's identity politics safe space culture.

Sarsour threw one of her usual fits when questions were raised about the money supposedly raised to repair Jewish cemeteries. When her call for a Jihad was criticised, she played the victim in a Washington Post piece. In response to questions about the Women's March celebrating Assata Shakur, a cop-killer and Black Nationalist heroine, of, among others, the Black Lives Matter, hate group, Sarsour accused Jake Tapper of being alt-right.  And then there were all the threats of an enemies list.

It's becoming really obvious that Sarsour's basic skillset is

1. Playing the victim

2. Calling everyone else names

At no point in time could Sarsour's skillset have meshed better with the wrecked state of the left.
