James Bennet is the NY Times editorial page editor and on Sunday, i.e June 7th he resigned from his post — following controversy over the publication of an op-ed by Sen. Tom Cotton. But Tom Cotton slammed the New York Times for surrendering “to awoke child mob” by backtracking on whether it stood by publishing his op-ed supporting the use of the US military to crackdown on protests.

In an interview with Fox News, he said: “The New York Times editorial page editor and owner defended it in public statements but then they totally surrendered to awoke child mob from their own newsroom that apparently gets triggered if they’re presented with an opinion contrary to their own, as opposed to telling the woke children in their newsroom this is the workplace, not a social justice seminar on campus.”

Initially, the Times defended its decision to run the piece, but after backlash from staffers said it “did not meet our standards” and was published due to a “rushed editorial process.”

On June 3rd, The New York Times published an editorial from Senator Tom Cotton, a Republican from Arkansas, titled “Send in the Troops.” However, the column drew criticism from inside and outside The New York Times newsroom.
