UH OH! CNN reporter makes benign observation about Melania Trump's outfit and Soledad O'Brien CAN'T DEAL

It all started quite innocently when CNN White House reporter Kate Bennett made this comment about Melania Trump’s outfit:

when you coordinate your outfit to match your Stan Smiths.

And then it escalated quickly, thanks to Soledad O’Brien, whose political switch appears to be locked in the “Trump-triggered” position:

When you’re a birther, but the media—which has long failed to cover race and racism thoughtfully—comments on your outfit coordination. https://t.co/LNze2hT6Si

Apparently calling “fake news” on the media is OK, but only if a liberal journo does it to a reporter who doesn’t show the requisite amount of perma-hate for the Trumps in every tweet.

Soledad, I have for years and years, as a former fashion editor and fan of fashion generally, used my twitter account to comment on the outfits of first ladies, former and present. If you don't like how I choose to use my account, unfollow. This tweet is beneath you. https://t.co/dsLpVRYNfu

Some doubted the last part of Bennett’s tweet:

Soledad.. girlfriend the catty remarks are beneath you as a journalist. https://t.co/Vy562hyL0n

Having worked with @KateBennett_DC, I can attest she was covering her "daily Melania" outfits/lifestyle news back in 2015.

This is nothing new, @soledadobrien. I'm genuinely disappointed in your comment. https://t.co/3G0kOMtkm6
