Traitor becomes a leftist trans hero.
Chelsea Manning is a former U.S. Army private who gave tens of thousands of classified documents to WikiLeaks. Convicted of a capital offense, “aiding the enemy,” Manning was imprisoned in 2010 and later pardoned by former President Barack Obama in late 2016. Manning, then known as Bradley, also had a sex change while in prison.
The now-freed Manning has become a hero of the political Left. Signifying as much, Manning will feature in Vogue magazine’s September issue.
On Thursday, Vogue published its article and profile photo. The “Women’s March” group summed up the liberal Twitter reaction.
