Rolling Stone contributor defends ‘basically terrific’ Venezuelan government

That’s quite an honor, but Jesse A. Myerson most definitely deserves it. Myerson, if you’ll recall, is the same douchebag who penned the decidedly Marxist-flavored “Five Economic Reforms Millennials Should Be Fighting For” last month for Rolling Stone.

Today, he’s once again making a complete ass of himself:

Progress? In what universe, pray tell?

Um, no. It’s just a perfect illustration of the appallingly rotten conditions in which most Venezuelans find themselves.

Myerson’s in dire need of a public shaming. Fortunately, reality-based tweeters are up to the task:

Also painful? The fact that in this day and age, there are still people out there who defend a political philosophy that has millions impoverished or dead.

Some people are just beyond help.

Editor’s note: Myerson’s name was initially misspelled in one instance. We’ve corrected the error.
