Aleppo continues to crumble and the controversy over alleged Russian hacking rages on, and Politico reporter and self-described hack Glenn Thrush wonders why President Obama Donald Trump hasn’t mentioned it on social media:
I've checked @realDonaldTrump twitter feed and can't find anything criticizing Putin/Russians on Syria/Aleppo. Am I overlooking?
— Glenn Thrush (@GlennThrush) December 16, 2016
Well, in that case, how about checking something else first?
That's funny. I checked the current President @POTUS account and can't find anything there either. https://t.co/VhqoiOSsCT

Have you checked the feed of the guy who is actually president right now? @GlennThrush

How about re-directing just 10% of your scrutiny to the last 6 years of Obama's inaction, causing Aleppo in the first place? Guess not. https://t.co/pbwAM9rabo

What a novel idea!
Yes, Glenn, you're definitely overlooking something…https://t.co/s50ZG8RlMChttps://t.co/CEOsuDZLJZ https://t.co/XQTNvdUwiJ

Thrush defended himself this way:
Fair but at least he talked about it MT @stwalljckson1: How about re-directing just 10% of scrutiny to the last 6 yrs of Obama's inaction

Wait……Did I miss inauguration day? https://t.co/v27gf47n5Q

@GlennThrush @realDonaldTrump is he POTUS yet? No? Didn't think so. How about the current occupant's feckless reactions…,

I'm no fan of Trump, but WTF is this? Remind me again who the POTUS is? Who was POTUS when this crisis started? Who gave us the "Red Line"? https://t.co/BA7Kfiuscp

"Because I have become a hack," I won't point out that there'd be less/nothing to criticize if the current potus had acted. – Glenn Thrush. https://t.co/WeVDXx3IoT

You're overlooking the fact that you're a hack. Do a simple search on Obama's account and let me know what you find. https://t.co/aw4yAzStBU

.@GlennThrush @realDonaldTrump I've checked your Twitter feed, and can't find anything relating to "journalism".

Thrush would be a good fit for Salon.
