Bari Weiss, former editor at The New York Times, criticized the far-right during a speech at the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship, cautioning that it is erasing the distinction between good and evil. She likens the far-right's actions to those of the far-left and argues that failing to uphold and protect core civilizational values—such as the rule of law and individual rights—endangers political movements. Weiss asserts that without vigilance in maintaining these principles, society risks witnessing history repeat itself amidst a political landscape that venerates power above principle.
Weiss argues that the far-right is erasing the line between good and evil, and emphasizes the importance of defending sacred values to ensure political endurance.
The far-right's neglect to police its ranks could lead to a situation where power, rather than principle, becomes the prevailing norm in politics.
