Concha argued that Wintour&#8217;s support for Galliano was misguided, especially given the ongoing prevalence of antisemitism in the U.S., citing examples like Twitch streamer Hasan Piker\u2019s controversial comments. He urged Wintour to accept her loss over the exhibit, criticizing her for standing by Galliano\u2019s decision to withdraw and for allegedly enabling antisemitic rhetoric in broader political and cultural contexts. Concha emphasized that such attitudes reflect a concerning rise in antisemitism nationwide.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Washington Examiner<\/em> columnist <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4711594\/vance-confidence-iran-affordability-joe-concha\/\">Joe Concha<\/a> said British fashion editor and former editor-in-chief of Vogue <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/?s=anna+wintour\">Anna Wintour<\/a> should \u201ctake the L\u201d after a proposed Met Gala exhibit honoring a controversial designer was canceled.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHere you have the editor of Vogue magazine, alright, she is royalty amongst the elites among liberals in New York for 37 years, and she retired from that last year, and now the Met Gala will probably force her to retire at this point,\u201d Concha said on Fox News\u2019s \u201c<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/shows\/the-faulkner-focus\"><em>The Faulkner Focus<\/em><\/a>\u201d Thursday. <\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/entertainment\/4712958\/take-the-l-concha-rips-wintour-defending-john-galliano-met-gala-exhibit-scrapped\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>\u2018Take the L\u2019: Concha rips Wintour for defending John Galliano after Met Gala exhibit scrapped<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/4711453\/stephen-smith-reject-2028-run-job\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Stephen A.
