New York Times Justice Department reporter Katie Benner announced that she deleted some tweets on Tuesday.
Without further clarification, Benner wrote on Tuesday evening that she had “deleted unclearly worded tweets regarding the Jan 6. committee hearing.”
I deleted unclearly worded tweets regarding the Jan 6. committee hearing.

According to a screenshot included in a Fox News article, the series of now-deleted posts began by stating: “Today’s #January6thSelectCommittee underscores the America’s current, essential natsec dilemma: Work to combat legitimate national security threats now entails calling a politician’s supporters enemies of the state.”
Benner continued: “As Americans, we believe that state power should not be used to work against a political figure or a political party. But what happens if a politician seems to threaten the state? If the politician continues to do so out of office and his entire party supports that threat?”
“This dilemma was unresolved by the Russia probe and 2 impeachments. With many Republicans denying the reality of the Jan. 6 attack, I doubt the #January6thCommittee will resolve it either. That leaves it up to voters, making even more essential free, fair access to the polls,” the New York Times reporter wrote.
The House select committee tasked with probing the Jan. 6 Capitol riot held its first hearing on Tuesday.
Glenn Greenwald commented on Benner’s remarks: “Absolutely amazing: the New York Times’ Justice Department reporter says the US faces an “essential natsec dilemma”: namely, that Trump supporters are “enemies of the state” and all of the GOP is a threat to the State. This is a reporter — not an op-ed writer — saying this,” he tweeted.
Co-founder of The Federalist Sean Davis tweeted: “Here we have an NYT reporter, channeling the views of the corrupt FBI and DOJ officials who leak to her, straight-up saying that your political opposition to the ruling regime makes you an enemy of the state by definition.”

Ms. Benner is a Typical PROG… “Yeah, I believe you have a right to say your opinion, AS LONG AS it agrees with MINE!”
Indeed! So called “progressives” believe in freedom of speech and thought as long as yours is exactly the same as theirs.
I do believe that we are losing our freedom of speech.

Okay Beijing born Brenner, whose reads like a Chi Com finishing school’s. Here we still allow under 1A free speech. NYT has lost all credibility
People that use the term “enemy of the state” tend to be enemies of the nation.
The true enemy of the state are the demon crates. The record speaks for it’s self. Their term in office should end now before they get the chance to take this country down further. Now is the right time to put the real president back in office.
Enemies of the state? Well yeah enemies of the DEEP STATE these lifelong politicians He– bent on keeping us all tramped down on.
The ONLY enemies of the state are the anti-American leftists who need eliminated by U.S. military force, just like jews in Germany were by AH.
