Ratio'd WaPo reporter defended tweeting out a 3-year-old article on Kobe Bryant's rape case but then deleted them all for some strange reason

Washington Post reporter Felicia Sonmez has deleted this tweet we told you about earlier tonight after thousands and thousands of people called her out on the timing of it:

But before deleting it, she defended it. And then deleted those, too. We don’t have screenshots but our content management system preserved the text of the now-deleted hot-takes:

“Well, THAT was eye-opening. To the 10,000 people (literally) who have commented and emailed me with abuse and death threats, please take a moment and read the story — which was written 3+ years ago, and not by me. Any public figure is worth remembering in their totality 1/2”

And:

“even if that public figure is beloved and that totality unsettling. That folks are responding with rage & threats toward me (someone who didn’t even write the piece but found it well-reported) speaks volumes about the pressure people come under to stay silent in these cases. 2/2”

https://twitter.com/feliciasonmez/status/1221556468081741825

Yes, she’s the real victim in all of this:

Does she not get that it’s the timing of it all?

We never said it should never come up, mind you:

This is a good analogy:

Yep:

She’s going to be on Siraj Hashmi list tomorrow, for sure:

She also tweeted out a screenshot of some of the emails she received:

“As an addendum: Hard to see what’s accomplished by messages such as these. If your response to a news article is to resort to harassment and intimidation of journalists, you might want to consider that your behavior says more about you than the person you’re targeting.”
