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.

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.
