Claudine Gay plays the victim as she avoids accountability for her fraud
What you fear is what you avoid, and leftists avoid accountability because it scares them the most.
It can shatter their persona as the infallible enlightened ones who are singularly equipped to save society from itself.
So when exposed as frauds, they don’t take responsibility — they play the victim.
