Taking from twitter feed of @southpaw , this is another example of the NYT's systemic issues w/ political reporting that have led to things like the Nazi profiles and using the same Trump-supporting small business owner for quotes in articles about small business owners supporting Trump 3 months apart. The responses in the final two tweets unfortunately explain how a piece like this gets this angle. All reporting is editorial to some degree out of necessity. But this is a deliberately disingenuous framing to disguise the nature of the person he's profiling. Unfortunately, they'll likely do nothing to address their internal problems with their political reporting, because they fired the person who was supposed to internally check them on this stuff.

And the final tweet in the thread from @southpaw, which I couldn't link directly.

Peters responds. Anders’ pro-confederate monuments PAC was very active last year, including in the wake of Trump’s Charlottesville comments, and afaik remains a going concern. Thx to @brianbeutler
