Yesterday terrorists killed at least 27 people after attacking a hotel in the capital of Mali. @JimmyPrinceton pointed out how Politico’s Roger Simon once mocked Mitt Romney for pointing out the terrorism threat in that country.
During the 2012 presidential campaign, Vox’s Matt Yglesias also mocked Romney for mentioning Mali in his terrorism warning, as Richard Grenell pointed out:

The best and the brightest sure were wrong about poking fun at Romney.
.@mattyglesias I like jokes that take 3 years to get to the punchline.

That moment when @MittRomney warned of terrorism in Mali and they made fun of him. It's not so funny now. https://t.co/pyfFRtfFO9
