Ackman has been a vocal critic of Harvard’s recently resigned president, Claudine Gay, over allegations of plagiarism and her handling of antisemitism on campus.

    The point is that Bill Ackman made a big public whiny piss and moan about Claudine Gay’s plagiarism, which as it turns out is pretty much identical to the type of plagiarism his wife has now been found guilty of performing.

    It’s all very dumb, but now it’s funny because he’s made a valid case why his own wife should immediately be fired and her PhD dissertation put under review.

      Yup. He wants forgiveness for his wife 'cause she’s human and makes mistakes, yet is still roasting Gay over the bonfire.

      Fuck him and his wife.

      While Ackman didn’t back down from his scrutiny of Gay — going so far as to say she should not remain as a faculty member due to her “serious plagiarism issues” — he defended his wife Thursday in a post on X, saying “part of what makes her human is that she makes mistakes.”

        what makes her human

        His wife gets to be human and make mistakes because she’s his wife and not Black. Gay fits neither of these criteria and thus…
