Our Old Greenwich girl (and Swiss finishing school and GHS graduate) Taylor Lorenz makes good again
/That adorable Taylor is still at the Washington Post and still spewing filth
Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz on Monday pushed a false claim that a Los Angeles synagogue was auctioning off Palestinian land this week—a conspiracy theory that led to violent, anti-Semitic protests outside the Jewish house of worship on Sunday.
Lorenz—who covers social media for the Post and often complains about being targeted by online harassment—reposted multiple comments on X, formerly Twitter, defending the synagogue protesters, promoting the false allegations, and slamming the media, including her former employer, the New York Times, for failing to give the allegations oxygen. The synagogue was in fact hosting an industry expo on real estate investing in Israel, and the false claims that Adas Torah was selling Palestinian land appear to have originated from radical anti-Israel groups, including Code Pink and the Palestinian Youth Movement, according to social media posts.

In a separate incident this week, Lorenz also defended former Bernie Sanders spokeswoman Briahna Joy Gray’s remarks that the media should report on “Israel training dogs to rape Palestinian prisoners,” another unsubstantiated conspiracy theory.
Lorenz said this was a “claim that’s being reported all over X,” and Gray was “just asking if any U.S. papers have investigated the claims.”
“It’s not like she’s asking about some random thing, it’s been a major topic of discussion on X all day.”
Meet @washingtonpost columnist @TaylorLorenz. On multiple occasions, she reposted justifications for the targeting of an LA synagogue on the false claim it was "hosting a sale of Palestinian land."

When she isn’t Jew baiting, Miss Lorenz spends her time amusing the rest of us with her hysterical rants about her fear of COVID cooties.
Taylor Lorenz Holds Breath To Survive 'Dangerous' Encounter With Unmasked Passengers at JFK Airport in 2023
(yes, she was still wearing her mask in June ‘23 — she probably still is)
Taylor Lorenz, the Washington Post reporter best known for attending a teenager's birthday party and being cited in Chinese propaganda broadcasts, survived a "dangerous" encounter at John F. Kennedy International Airport over the weekend.
• The 38-year-old teen journalist complained that TSA agents were "forcing all passengers to remove their masks before they even step up to the security desk" to have their boarding passes checked. "I can't believe they're doing stuff like this in 2023 [spiral eyes emoji]," Lorenz wrote on Twitter, the immigrant-owned social networking website.
• Lorenz described the situation—unmasked passengers at an airport in 2023—as "so dangerous" and "so insane." She accused a TSA agent of behaving with "abject cruelty" for telling "a woman" that she shouldn't be flying if she was "so scared" about removing her mask for several seconds at a security checkpoint.
• Nevertheless, she managed to survive. "I tried to just hold my breath but I had to breathe a couple times [spiral eyes emoji]," Lorenz confessed.
