So, this is still happening on the heels of the continued (and ever-more-damaging) Hillary Clinton email scandal:
Some people actually believe this stuff. O tempora O mores –> Hillary Clinton's emailgate is an attack on women https://t.co/fwK80m4fTG

Oh, of course! It’s totally sexism and stuff, you guys. Silly girls can’t be expected to know how pesky things like THE TRUTH work. Sheesh!
Hume then inspired The Weekly Standard’s Jonathan Last to call him a “national treasure.”

Why? Well, Fox News’ Brit Hume once again took on two Twitter followers as only he can. No matter where you stand in regard to Bill Kristol, Hume’s replies are hilarious. First came this complaint:
Please tell Brit Hume to keep that loser Bill Kristol off his show he should go back to CNN! Please Retweet this to @brithume

Hume?
Aww, did the little snowflake hear views that made her uncomfortable? Perhaps she should retreat to a safe space to heal. https://t.co/RYHkCeQonW

Ouch.
And then someone took issue with that deadpan snark from Hume.
Not the response of the man I followed for years. I expect responses like this from fledgling websites, not seasoned journalists.

Oh dear. Take it away, Mr. Hume!
You could have shortened that by simply tweeting, "Harrumph." https://t.co/SA6XpYmqgx

Snicker. Never change, Mr. Hume. Even if or when we disagree, your humor is much appreciated always.
