    What goes around comes around. Karma is a bitch, hunh nigger?

    Anna Wintour, the notoriously high-powered Vogue executive, was
    aware of the tweets that would eventually lead to Alexi
    McCammond's resignation but hired her anyway and then couldn't
    save her from outraged staffers, according to The New York Times.

    McCammond's tenure as editor-in-chief of Teen Vogue ended before
    it ever began on Thursday when she parted ways with the far-left
    outlet after an internal uproar over decade-old tweets, for
    which she previously apologized in 2019. Staffers at the Condé
    Nast publication were furious over the tweets, while critics
    labeled the outrage as the latest example of cancel culture.

    TEEN VOGUE EDITOR BECOMES LATEST CANCEL CULTURE VICTIM AFTER
    STAFFERS' REVOLT OVER DECADE-OLD TWEETS

    The Times reported Wintour, the chief content officer and the
    global editorial director of Vogue, had vetted McCammond and was
    "aware of the decade-old racist tweets" but decided to hire her
    anyway and later tried to save her once backlash erupted.
    However, even the powerful Wintour couldn’t save from cancel
    culture.

    "Wintour discussed the tweets with leaders of color at Condé
    Nast before the job was offered, according to a company
    executive who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a
    personnel issue. Ms. McCammond struck Condé Nast leaders as an
    impressive candidate, the executive said, and they felt her 2019
    apology showed that she had learned from her mistakes," the
    Times reported, noting that Condé Nast executives were unaware
    of other problematic tweets and photos that were later unearthed.

    Teen Vogue staffers were furious when McCammond was named
    incoming editor-in-chief and Wintour attempted to salvage the
    hire to no avail.

    "As complaints mounted, Ms. Wintour tried to build support for
    the would-be Teen Vogue editor. Ms. McCammond also participated
    in meetings with Condé Nast staff members and other groups to
    apologize further and listen to their concerns, including one-on-
    one talks with journalists at Teen Vogue, according to six
    people with knowledge of the meetings," the Times reported.

    The Times reported "two people with knowledge of the plan" felt
    McCammond was a goner once Wintour canceled a meeting that was
    scheduled with top Condé Nast editors, including McCammond.

    MEDIA MEMBERS OUTRAGED AFTER CANCEL CULTURE COMES FOR ALEXI
    MCCAMMOND: 'WHERE THE HELL ARE WE AS AN INDUSTRY'

    "The cancellation was accompanied by a note saying the meeting
    would not be rescheduled," the Times reported.

    McCammond, who rose to fame as a reporter at Axios and an MSNBC
    contributor, previously addressed the tweets in 2019 after they
    came to light.

    "I have since deleted those tweets as they do not reflect my
    views or who I am today," she wrote on Nov. 20, 2019.

    She continued to report for Axios through the 2020 election
    without public objection, but following the announcement of her
    hiring at Teen Vogue on March 5, more than 20 staffers objected
    in a letter to McCammond over her past tweets. She again
    apologized, but Ulta Beauty suspended a lucrative advertising
    campaign with the publication over the controversy.

    She released a statement on Thursday to announce she would walk
    away from Teen Vogue after staffers and advertisers objected to
    her hiring.

    "My past tweets have overshadowed the work I've done to
    highlight the people and issues that I care about -- issues that
    Teen Vogue has worked tirelessly to share with the world -- and
    so Condé Nast and I have decided to part ways," McCammond wrote.

    McCammond said she would be "rooting" for the publication, whose
    staffers revolted following the announcement of her hiring over
    the tweets, which included hoping she didn't wake up with
    "Asian" eyes and using the term "homo." The 27-year-old Black
    journalist sent the offending remarks in 2011, when she was a
    teenager.

    Condé Nast did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
