National Review critic-at-large Kyle Smith is facing blowback online for a harsh review of incoming First Lady Dr. Jill Biden’s dissertation.
Piggybacking off discourse from last weekend about her use of the “Dr.” honorific, Smith called Biden’s dissertation “garbage” and argued it “is not an addition to the sum total of human knowledge.”
Smith’s Wednesday post immediately elicited angry responses.
“This is the type of sh– losers do,” fumed comedian Tim Dillon. “Writing an article about whether or not the incoming first lady’s doctoral dissertation holds up. The GOP is BEYOND FU–ED if this is the strategy.”
Former Ohio congressional candidate Shannon Freshour kept her critique a little more low-key, jokingly encouraging Smith, “Please provide the link to your doctoral dissertation.”
