What goes around comes around. Karma is a bitch, hunh nigger?

Anna Wintour, the notoriously high-powered Vogue executive, was
aware of the tweets that would eventually lead to Alexi
McCammond's resignation but hired her anyway and then couldn't
save her from outraged staffers, according to The New York Times.

McCammond's tenure as editor-in-chief of Teen Vogue ended before
it ever began on Thursday when she parted ways with the far-left
outlet after an internal uproar over decade-old tweets, for
which she previously apologized in 2019. Staffers at the Condé
Nast publication were furious over the tweets, while critics
labeled the outrage as the latest example of cancel culture.

TEEN VOGUE EDITOR BECOMES LATEST CANCEL CULTURE VICTIM AFTER
STAFFERS' REVOLT OVER DECADE-OLD TWEETS

The Times reported Wintour, the chief content officer and the
global editorial director of Vogue, had vetted McCammond and was
"aware of the decade-old racist tweets" but decided to hire her
anyway and later tried to save her once backlash erupted.
However, even the powerful Wintour couldn’t save from cancel
culture.

"Wintour discussed the tweets with leaders of color at Condé
Nast before the job was offered, according to a company
executive who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a
personnel issue. Ms. McCammond struck Condé Nast leaders as an
impressive candidate, the executive said, and they felt her 2019
apology showed that she had learned from her mistakes," the
Times reported, noting that Condé Nast executives were unaware
of other problematic tweets and photos that were later unearthed.

Teen Vogue staffers were furious when McCammond was named
incoming editor-in-chief and Wintour attempted to salvage the
hire to no avail.

"As complaints mounted, Ms. Wintour tried to build support for
the would-be Teen Vogue editor. Ms. McCammond also participated
in meetings with Condé Nast staff members and other groups to
apologize further and listen to their concerns, including one-on-
one talks with journalists at Teen Vogue, according to six
people with knowledge of the meetings," the Times reported.

The Times reported "two people with knowledge of the plan" felt
McCammond was a goner once Wintour canceled a meeting that was
scheduled with top Condé Nast editors, including McCammond.

MEDIA MEMBERS OUTRAGED AFTER CANCEL CULTURE COMES FOR ALEXI
MCCAMMOND: 'WHERE THE HELL ARE WE AS AN INDUSTRY'

"The cancellation was accompanied by a note saying the meeting
would not be rescheduled," the Times reported.

McCammond, who rose to fame as a reporter at Axios and an MSNBC
contributor, previously addressed the tweets in 2019 after they
came to light.

"I have since deleted those tweets as they do not reflect my
views or who I am today," she wrote on Nov. 20, 2019.

She continued to report for Axios through the 2020 election
without public objection, but following the announcement of her
hiring at Teen Vogue on March 5, more than 20 staffers objected
in a letter to McCammond over her past tweets. She again
apologized, but Ulta Beauty suspended a lucrative advertising
campaign with the publication over the controversy.

She released a statement on Thursday to announce she would walk
away from Teen Vogue after staffers and advertisers objected to
her hiring.

"My past tweets have overshadowed the work I've done to
highlight the people and issues that I care about -- issues that
Teen Vogue has worked tirelessly to share with the world -- and
so Condé Nast and I have decided to part ways," McCammond wrote.

McCammond said she would be "rooting" for the publication, whose
staffers revolted following the announcement of her hiring over
the tweets, which included hoping she didn't wake up with
"Asian" eyes and using the term "homo." The 27-year-old Black
journalist sent the offending remarks in 2011, when she was a
teenager.

Condé Nast did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
