It might be a problem for The Weekly Standard when it’s Kathy Griffin endorsing the mag’s new article on Cory Booker:
No lies detected! https://t.co/A99JQYHSGK

Griffin was responded to The Federalist’s Sean Davis, who in turn was mocking Bill Kristol over the mag’s rather positive portrayal of the potential 2020 Democratic presidential candidate:
Weekly Standard on Devin Nunes: "Bizarre," "crazy," "utterly bunk."
Weekly Standard on Cory Booker: A "moderate" who preaches "love and understanding."https://t.co/yN4wO58T1J— Sean Davis (@seanmdav) December 6, 2018
So Kathy Griffin likes the article but Weekly Standard subscribers do not?
Ummmmmm…… I'm a conservative and I love the @weeklystandard, reading every word of the magazine each week. However, writing a puff piece for the socialist known as @CoryBooker is taking it a bit too far.

And this:
The @weeklystandard is reaching out to alienated conservatives with a glowing profile of <squints> Cory Booker! https://t.co/y6gBsex2eU

Tweeters also pointed out that the tone of this new piece on Booker is just a tad different from one done two years ago in the magazine which hit the New Jersey liberal for constantly making things up:
This was a much more fun read in the Weekly Standard on the same person, less than 2 years ago. https://t.co/hNTI6Gmk7W
