The editor-in-chief of The Atlantic magazine announced Thursday that the publication was “parting ways” with conservative writer Kevin Williamson two weeks to the day after he was hired, citing Williamson’s earlier comments against abortion.
In a memo to Atlantic staff, Jeffrey Goldberg referenced what he called “callous and violent” language that Williamson used in a 2014 podcast in which the former National Review writer discussed abortion and the death penalty.
