Tim Alberta, the outlet’s chief political correspondent, urged journalists to label any GOP lawmaker who supported President Trump’s election challenge as “extremist” and “radical.”
“Words matter,” he wrote in a Tweet. “It’s past time we reformed our political terminology.”
“We should not – for the rest of their careers – refer to any of these Republican E.C. objectors as ‘conservatives,’” he added.
“They are radicals. They are extremists. There is nothing conservative about subverting democracy.”
