Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Wednesday criticized the New York Times over how it handled an op-ed from Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) that promoted a view that, according to one poll, a majority of Americans share.

Backlash to the op-ed from younger staffers at the New York Times, as well as a number of activists, prompted publisher A.G. Sulzberger to oust James Bennet, who oversaw the paper’s opinion pages since 2016.
