Journo Soledad O’Brien is not happy that other journos are covering how 2020 presidential candidate Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand eats her fried chicken:
Oh God. It’s starting again. Please, journalists. Don’t do this. Nobody cares how she—or anyone—eats fried chicken. https://t.co/JYxqHUaMtq

She targeted the press in general, but she was quote-tweeting this question from Jonathan Martin of the New York Times:
Could this really be the first time in 50 years she ate fried chicken? https://t.co/XHOMj6Emcz

Sorry, Soledad, but we’re just being fair since analyzing Donald Trump’s eating of fried chicken was fair game. From CNN:

It was also covered by the liberal New Republic, among many other outlets:

Slate even went as far as to call someone who eats fried chicken with a knife and fork a “sociopath”:

“Sociopath” is a very strong word. Shouldn’t we care if Sen. Gillibrand is exhibiting sociopathic tendencies as suggested by Slate?
