As Twitchy readers know, a video went viral on Twitter over the weekend showing a woman threatening to call the cops on a little 8-year-old girl who was selling water … without a permit.
Twitchy readers also know that Hollywood conservative James Woods said he was leveraging his relationship with Disney “to see if they might invite this enterprising little girl to Disneyland and treat her like a princess.”
But you know conservatives, right? Freelance writer Glenn Fleishman thinks he does:

Um, there was just one problem with that argument — the USA TODAY story on the incident to which he linked was written by — gasp! — a conservative.
This woman says she called the police on a little girl selling water outside their apartment, because the girl was being loud… but they live across the street from a giant stadium.
It wasn't about the noise.

The girl who wrote the article is a conservative

A conservative wrote this.

Part of reading an article is noting who the author is. @senatorshoshana is a staunch free markets conservative.
This is a great spot for an apology.

Uh dude a conservative wrote the article you are tweeting out.
— Creamy (@revcarth) June 25, 2018
You charge that conservatives didn’t champion the girl’s cause and insinuate it was for racial reasons. That’s grossly insulting, and inaccurate— I think if you check #PermitPatty you’ll find several known conservatives.
— Elodin (@elodin8) June 25, 2018
The author mentioned racial issues and I agree with her, and her conclusion on the regulatory/policing overreach in the article.

After this catastrophic failure in observational skills, you may want to learn to properly identify any Conservatives you may stumble across during your day.

A little free tip from Twitchy: conservatives are EVERYWHERE. There might be one sitting next to you in Starbucks right this minute … you know they welcome anybody there now.
We champion her and many others in similar circumstances all the time. What are YOU trying to imply?
— Toxic Miscuelinity (@Dave_DelFavero) June 25, 2018
@Twitchy gonna have something to say about this
— Toxic Miscuelinity (@Dave_DelFavero) June 25, 2018
Damn straight, Dave.
A conservative wrote the article. Do you know how to do a little research before you tweet?
UP with the little girl and DOWN with #PermitPatty.
Oh – and down with you for making it racist and partisan.

hey bub, the woman who wrote this is a conservative.. but really im just here for the ratio. pic.twitter.com/Qg4eQHNjyk

Came to tell you that a conservative wrote that article but then realised you are being ratio'd for being an absolute pillock who can't even research the author of the article.
Nice work genius…
— Rathdranalon (@Daicheal) June 25, 2018
Wow, you really *pwned* the cons here, didn't you, genius?
— Chuck Vipperman (@ChuckVipperman) June 25, 2018
It’s a great piece, by the way.
This, from @senatorshoshana is spot on. Harassing an 8 year old girl for selling water without a permit is really low, but why the hell does the city require a license to sell bottled water to begin with? https://t.co/y0W1f5juEf

Hey, look at that … another conservative defending the little girl … maybe he doesn’t know she’s black (insert sarcasm tag here).

Update:
What’s that we hear in the distance? It sounds like a tiny violin …

Oh, that and accusing conservatives of ignoring the girl because she’s black.
