On Tuesday, Scott Adams, the creator of the beloved comic strip "Dilbert," died after a prolonged battle with metastatic prostate cancer. However, some of his opponents in media wasted no time before criticizing Adams and his accomplishments.

Hours after it was announced that Adams had died, People magazine published an article titled "Scott Adams, Disgraced Dilbert Creator, Dies at 68."

'You are the scum of the earth.'

The author then claimed in the very first paragraph that Adams "degraded Black people in a 2023 rant."

People updated the article at 12:33 p.m. ET, including changing the author of the piece. The updated version says it was written by "People Staff."

However, an earlier, archived version of the article timestamped at 10:47 a.m. ET shows that it was written by Victoria Edel, as many X users, including Eric Daugherty, made sure to emphasize.

Several prominent X users did not try to hide their disgust over the tasteless headline.

"Subhuman ghouls," BlazeTV host Auron MacIntyre said in a reply to People's post.

"You are the scum of the earth," Raw Egg Nationalist wrote.

People's original X post promoting the article also appears to have been deleted.

Other news outlets couldn't resist the opportunity to drag Adams through the mud either.

An archived article originally published from the Washington Post and apparently shared later by the Boston Globe bore the headline, "Scott Adams, ‘Dilbert’ creator who veered into racist, far-right commentary, dies."

Just like the People article, this article wasted no time attacking Adams' right-wing views. The first paragraph reads: "Scott Adams, who became a hero to millions of cubicle-dwelling office workers as the creator of the satirical comic strip 'Dilbert,' only to rebrand himself as a digital provocateur — at home in the Trump era’s right-wing mediasphere — with inflammatory comments about race, politics and identity, died Jan. 13."

For evidence, critics point to a February 22, 2023, stream of Adams' show, "Real Coffee with Scott Adams." The "rant" that they are referring to involves Adams' discussion of a Rasmussen poll of black Americans responding to the statement "it's okay to be white." Fifty-three percent agreed, 26% disagreed, and 21% were not sure about the statement.

Adams took issue with the fact that nearly half of black Americans did not agree with that statement. He said in part, "If nearly half of all blacks are not okay with white people … that's a hate group. I don't want to have anything to do with them. And I would say, based on the current way things are going, the best advice I would give to white people is to get the hell away from black people ... because there is no fixing this."

Adams' critics failed to mention that he went on to encourage his viewers to be "friendly" to everyone and that he was not trying to "start a war" with anyone.

Republican Rep. James Comer of Kentucky threatened to push contempt of Congress charges against Bill and Hillary Clinton over their refusal to testify in the congressional Epstein probe.

The Clintons were subpoenaed by the Oversight Committee, which is chaired by Comer, but they refused to appear on the basis that the orders were "invalid and legally unenforceable," according to a letter obtained by the New York Times.

'No one's accusing Bill Clinton of anything, any wrongdoing. We just have questions.'

"Every person has to decide when they have seen or had enough and are ready to fight for this country, its principles and its people, no matter the consequences," reads the eight-page letter from the Clintons to the committee. "For us, now is that time."

Comer has repeatedly threatened to hold them in contempt if they don't appear for the closed-door hearing.

"Jeffrey Epstein visited the White House 17 times while Bill Clinton was president," Comer said to reporters Tuesday. "No one's accusing Bill Clinton of anything, any wrongdoing. We just have questions."

He also responded on social media with a post that included photos of the former president from the Epstein files.

"You're right, President Clinton. This is about right and wrong," Comer replied. "Epstein's survivors deserve justice and answers. Refusing to comply with a bipartisan, duly authorized congressional subpoena in our Epstein investigation is unacceptable. No one is above the law."

The Clintons accused Comer of trying to embarrass them and said they would argue their case to members of Congress.

"We are confident that any reasonable person in or out of Congress will see, based on everything we release, that what you are doing is trying to punish those who you see as your enemies and to protect those you think are your friends," they wrote in their letter.

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) also called for contempt charges against the Clintons.

They also argued that the subpoenas were "unwarranted because they do not seek pertinent information" and amount to "an unprecedented infringement on the separation of powers."

If Comer follows through on his threat to seek a contempt charge in the committee next week, the committee would vote on the motion, and then it would have to pass a majority of the House. It would then be up to the Justice Department to prosecute, which could result in up to a year in prison and a possible fine of $100,000.
