If you are reading this you are Twitchy VIP members and you know better than some that writers at Twitchy cover some weird stuff. There are days my husband says what did you do today and I get to say hilarious stuff like, I wrote about a kangaroo looking for some Pina Coladas at an apartment complex in Florida or Ben Shapiro retired from being the rap God known as Dr. Dreidel.
Basically, it is a weird job. If you follow me on Twitter you also know I have just weird and strange luck. I have shared stories of my luck over the years and it has gotten to the point where if I did not live the events and know they were all true I would think I was making them up.
Welp, I have a NEW one and this time you guys get the inside scoop because it is politics and it involves my Twitchy story directly.
Comparatively speaking, when I normally post about my weird days it usually ends with vomit or blood so Steve Cohen in my DMs is much better than some other weird days I have had.

Although taken out of context that could end with vomit as well ... pic.twitter.com/HRKepaucLj
BUCKLE UP because I'm going to tell you all about how Rep. Steve Cohen (D) ended up in my DMs.
It started with a story I wrote for twitchy about Mr. Cohen and his ridiculous comments about the 'Negro National Anthem' and his claim that the united states had slavery for 236 years. You can read that one here.
So I wrote that story and thought nothing of it, just went about my day. Then I saw Mr. Cohen directly messaged me. He was quite upset and wanted to take me to task over the word 'sooner' in my piece. He never addressed his 246 number mind you. The DM was not enough, he had to QT me as well. Our managing Editor Sam Janney gives you the low down on all of that here.
So after that, I go on about my day, and when I log back into Twitter I find Lil' Stevie has DM'd me AGAIN! Does the dude not have a job? I have been laughing all day but seriously doesn't a sitting member of the House of Representatives have anything better to do than to DM someone who wrote about 800 words about him being stupid? It just makes him look ... STUPID.
Bro, write a bill, vote on something, visit the border, and do something that the American taxpayers would like to pay you for. We KNOW he has a job. Why is he being a part-time internet troll? HAHAHA
Here is the first set of the DMs:
Just so y'all know. Steve was so annoyed by the @TwitchyTeam story that he DM'd me before he started playing the QT game. His DM rant helps prove his ignorance even more. @RepCohen it should be 'an ounce'. Maybe slow down and don't be a vitriolic little weasel and you could… https://t.co/ldrv92RAJe pic.twitter.com/D4cr2UtCPP

Here is the second:
You thought we were done didn't ya? I did too.

Apparently, I seriously upset Mr. Cohen with the word sooner. The context shows what I was referring to easily. I was obviously dragging him for his 246-year comment. What a flipping insane day. My life is weird. https://t.co/JlNStsksFK pic.twitter.com/dmxwynm65I
Let's clear this up right here. He has never addressed the fact his 246 number is from nowhere. He pulled it out of the air or as I said in my original piece he is trying to revive the debunked crap from the 1619 project. Either way, what is wrong with a person who does not accept that sooner is a synonym for quicker?
Did he never take an English OR a history class? If he had taken at least 10th grade English he could have seen in the context clues that I was dragging him for his number of years comment and I was clearly saying the United States had slavery in place as a nation for a shorter time than any other and it was a direct retort to his claim it was in place for over 200 years.
He has not answered me since that last DM. MAYBE HE IS DOING HIS REAL JOB! Doubtful, but a girl can hope, can't she?
I would say this saga is over but I thought it was over when I wrote the original piece and here I am writing about it so I will never say it is closed. I can imagine a year from now having written about a groundhog who died on Groundhog Day and Cohen popping up in my DM like he is the main character in a bad horror movie. 'QUICKER NOT SOONER!!!'
Anyway, if you ever wondered what it was like to be a Twitchy writer, it is a lot of fun and people like Lil' Stevie make it even better! I really want to start calling him the Twitter Karen or something along those lines but my brain is fried from reading his DMS. So you guys think about it and tweet me your options for the nickname you want to have for Representative Steve Cohen.
If I get enough suggestions we will run a bracket poll and make the final decision. hahaha
Be sure not to use too big of words OR synonyms or he might not understand once we make the final decision.
LOLOLOLOL! What a weird time to be alive.
