Weather you like Naomi Wolf or not she is honest and doesn't hesitate to call out her own side when they are wrong. (Remember she got banned from Twitter early on for calling the jabs dangerous and the whole COVID thing BS.)

From the close of her essay:
"I don’t like President Trump (Do I not? Who knows? I have been lied to about him so much for so long, I can‘t tell whether my instinctive aversion is simply the habituated residue of years of being on the receiving end of lies).
But I like the liars who are our current gatekeepers, even less.
The gatekeepers who lie to the public about the most consequential events of our time — and who thus damage our nation, distort our history, and deprive half of our citizenry of their right to speak, champion and choose, without being tarred as would-be violent traitors - deserve our disgust.
I am sorry the nation was damaged by so much untruth issued by those with whom I identified at the time.
I am sorry my former “tribe” is angry at a journalist for engaging in —- journalism.
I am sorry I believed so much nonsense.
Though it is no doubt too little, too late —
Conservatives, Republicans, MAGA:
I am so sorry."
SERIOUSLY. I read the whole article slowly and was still left with , NOT good enough Naomi. Sure she has had a recent run on covid. Brain was working slowly,. but to have bought the whole J6 narrative until Tucker exposed it.? A credible journalist needed Tucker? Give me a break. NO she had WILLFUL BLINDNESS. No one in the future should be given her level of journalistic respect if she can,t see the good from the bad. AND if she could not see FF written large over J6 she is either incredibly stupid or part of the problem and is trying to save her neck.
Scales fall from people's eyes. Even the most educated, if you look at the Apostle Paul as an example (and from whose experience the phrase comes). Maybe Naomi did not have a Road to Damascus experience all at once, but the steady Red-pilling of the Covid era appears to have been what tipped the scale in our direction.
Perfectionists say "NOT good enough Naomi." But I'll submit that it was not an attitude like that that has brought her to her senses. Applaud her humility, her sincerity, her surrender of what was once an over-educated liberal know-it-all-ism -and celebrate her conversion. Don't damn her for imperfections lest you become the play thing of knit pickers yourself.
Well said.
A little humanity never hurts. Very few (if any) libs have voiced similar sentiments. So I will take her at her word.
As far as "trying to save her neck" as another poster said - her neck is not on the line. She is not one of the ones in charge. She is a commentator and writer (whom I disagree with a lot of the time), but in this she appears to be honest. Also she lost a book deal after her outspoken honesty about covid.
I am not going to condemn someone for not waking up fast enough...

"... trying to save her neck."
To be fair, I've been listening to her on War Room for 2yrs and she is so buried in the COVID, Pfizer docs, and Fauci stuff, running lawsuits, running a team of 2,000 crowdsourced researchers going through the 500k+ pages of Pfizer docs, I'm not sure she really looked into or cared about J6. In the 2yrs on WarRoom I don't think I've ever heard her mention it once. I don't think it's necessarily that she hadn't realized J6 was fake, but that she just wasn't paying it any mind because it wasn't her lane. Most people who don't pay attention to this stuff were only exposed to the credible counter-narrative on J6 this week on Tucker.
