As if to confirm that she is not interested in actual historical fact and is instead committed to spinning certain events to fit her own narrative, Nikole Hannah-Jones, the founder of the New York Times’s 1619 Project, is now pushing a false and insulting “theory” about World War II.

I put “theory” in quotation marks because you’d be hard-pressed to find a single historian who would give the time of day to the nonsense Hannah-Jones is pushing. She alleged that U.S. officials only dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki “when they knew surrender was coming because they’d spent all this money developing it and to prove it was worth it.”
