At the 2018 party at the home of The Washington Post’s editorial cartoonist, in addition to several Ruth Bader Ginsburgs, someone dressed as the “Mueller Witch Hunt” and Post columnist Dana Milbank came as just-confirmed Supreme Court Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh, complete with a beer-dispensing device on his head. A guest named Lexie Gruber wore a scary “Beetlejuice” get-up and called herself “dead.”
A middle-aged white woman named Sue Schafer wore a conservative business suit and a name tag that said, “Hello, My Name is Megyn Kelly.” Her face was almost entirely blackened with makeup. Kelly, then an NBC morning show host, had just that week caused a stir by defending the use of blackface by white people: “When I was a kid, that was okay, as long as you were dressing up as, like, a character.”
Wow, two years ago the first prize winner in my social club's Halloween costume contest came as a black lawn jockey, complete with lantern. Wonder if he (and my club) are now "in trouble". And me for laughing and applauding his creativity.

Interestingly, the woman is a progressive. Looks like the woke she supports for everyone else came for her.
She supported the firing of people for this sort of thing. Even though it is asinine to fire her, she kind of deserves it in the end.
I am not a fan of the death penalty, but I would tell Robespierre what goes around comes around.
In the end, this lady helped create this climate of firing people for such things, she should have known better than to wear that costume. It shows a certain level of arrogance and hypocrisy that she thought she would be immune to it.
