As we told you earlier, the New York Times’ Maggie Haberman was one of a number of journalists who took issue with Michelle Wolf’s “jokes” directed at White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders at last night’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Here it is again:
That @PressSec sat and absorbed intense criticism of her physical appearance, her job performance, and so forth, instead of walking out, on national television, was impressive.

This then triggered liberal Hollywood actor Kumail Nanjiani who asked for Haberman to “please quote the exact line” as well as a cheapshot at her skill as a reporter:

FWIW, Haberman already answered this in her timeline which Nanjiani obviously missed:
The jokes I watched/heard about her eye makeup weren’t making fun of her appearance? What were they?

But then, apparently, Haberman unfollowed him which triggered Nanjiani all over again:

Or maybe Nanjiani unfollowed her first? Welcome to elementary school:
Hadn’t you unfollowed me first? I just try to winnow what comes into the mentions. More importantly – is this level of 16-hour outrage over a tweet about a comment from a comedian a good use of time? Maybe it is for some. But I have other things going on. Have a good one. https://t.co/hCSCAw1etw

Nanjiani ended the back-and-forth with more reporting advice that Haberman do a better job of making her anonymous sources:

Wow. This event is going to be the gift that keeps on giving for days and days.
