Lawfare Executive Editor and CNN National Security and Legal Analyst Susan Hennessey attacked The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway, calling her an “intellectual lightweight” and “bottom of the barrel” after Hemingway left a snarky response to one of her tweets:
Schiff has been extraordinarily measured in the past, so it is a big deal to hear this coming from him. https://t.co/DUV0oLW8al

I laughed. Good one!

Do these intellectual lightweights have a bigger tell that Trump’s got a serious problem then when they try to do the LOL WE’RE TROLLING bit? It’s so transparent and boring. https://t.co/RGf3r9lAFN

I recognize Hemingway is bottom of the barrel, but even Trumpist significantly smarter than her resort to it. You do you, I guess. Just seems ineffective and lazy.

First up, it’s “than” not “then”:
Hello, intellectual superior. I am providing a link to help you out for future tweets. https://t.co/7D4S8MHAK6 https://t.co/yu2PiZ5P0K

Every. Time:
Anytime someone calls another person an intellectual lightweight, it’s an obvious projection. Must be a sad life to be such a person. https://t.co/yu2PiZ5P0K

But more importantly, why’d she get so nasty?
Personal insults don't suit you or your arguments, Susan. Again, I was laughing at your characterization of Adam Schiff as measured, since he's so obviously not. He claimed he had evidence of Trump's treasonous collusion with Russia, for example, when he definitively did not.
