Last night, NBC/MSNBC analyst Howard Fineman post this photo of Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer at a swanky party hosted by the NYT’s Maureen Dowd for fellow NYT journo Carl Hulse’s new book, “Confirmation Bias: Inside Washington’s War Over the Supreme Court, from Scalia’s Death to Justice Kavanaugh“:
Wondering why @howardfineman decided to delete this tweet. pic.twitter.com/OLFxX53QkR

And then he deleted it because people were being to mean to him:
Tonight I tweeted a pic of a Georgetown party hosted by @maureendowd, attended by @SpeakerPelosi, @SenSchumer and DC journos. In the old days it would’ve been a benign big-shot brag. No more. It was viciously ratio’d by left and right. I deleted it. All establishments are hated.

LOL. This is 2/3 of what WaPost editor called the “axis of shevil”:
What people need to see in this newly formed @maureendowd /@SpeakerPelosi / @realDonaldTrump axis of shevil is that white supremacy relies on dismissing, silencing, and undermining women of color.
Putting them in their place by any means necessary.

And he still doesn’t get it why people are angry, especially from his own side:
Note that the problem is perceived to be the photo, not the party. https://t.co/DspkbvJ9lS

Let the ratio from the Left, continue!

LOL The elite are living in a bubble completely disconnected from the lived realities of working class people, a significant # of whom are POC at this point. They don't even seem to realize no one likes them or how stuck in the bubble of wealth & privilege they all are. https://t.co/hQIW6IjZjg
