A look at the word's recent comeback and how it relates to the op-ed that has everyone talking.

Here’s @Lawrence running with the “lodestar” conspiracy

Here’s CNN with the “lodestar” nonsense again:

Miles Taylor’s anonymity was protecting the media from looking stupid more than it was protecting him from anything.

“Lodestar: It's one of Vice President Mike Pence's favorite words and now the buzzword from a controversial editorial published in The New York Times.” https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2018/09/06/new-york-times-editorial-lodestar-defined/1210402002/

One of Vice President Mike Pence's most commonly-used word, lodestar, is used in the recent New York Times opinion piece slamming President Trump.

“That’s not a common word, ‘lodestar.’ Not a lot of people use that word,” Kimmel said. “But you know who does use that word? This guy.” With that, he cut to montage of Vice President Mike Pence using the word again and again in various speeches” https://www.thedailybeast.com/jimmy-kimmel-is-sure-mike-pence-wrote-anti-trump-new-york-times-op-ed

It all comes down to one uncommon word that has repeatedly popped up in the vice president’s speeches.

The internet is obsessing over one peculiar word: lodestar. And it may just hold a clue to guessing who penned the now-viral New York Times op-ed.
