'Heel! Good boy': Washington Post deleted a tweet about Biden after Jen Psaki registered a complaint

Yesterday evening, the Washington Post tweeted this about President Biden going to Las Vegas for today’s funeral for former Sen. Harry Reid:

White House press secretary harshly scolded the Post on Twitter today:

I will wait here for the apparent growing chorus referenced here who are opposed (that is right opposed according to this tweet) to a @POTUS who honors the lives of those lost, with empathy and grace. https://t.co/MrhLyIAAHa

— Jen Psaki (@PressSec) January 8, 2022

Now — and this could be a total coincidence — but guess what happened shortly thereafter…

There it goes:

We’ve deleted a tweet that inaccurately represented the scope of the story.

The Biden White House will be at least somewhat pleased with the belated cooperation.

While I thought the initial Tweet was bad, the Washington Post retracting an opinion because Jen Psaki told them to is a very bad look.#statemedia https://t.co/HJdFcY3Cse
