You know, we’re not sure if it’s sadder for us or the Washington Post that we’re writing yet ANOTHER article about Felicia Sonmez going after another male reporter after targeting David Weigel for retweeting a joke on Twitter.
This all stems from a joke.
How unfortunate for Felicia that she has all but made herself the actual punchline at this point.
It's hard for me to understand why the Washington Post hasn't done anything about these tweets, in which one of its employees mischaracterizes his own actions and accuses a colleague of "clout chasing and bullying" for publicly objecting to sexism.
Is this who we are? https://t.co/GT95VUlSWr

Is WaPo who Felicia is? Because woof, what a disaster.
At this point, all we can say is Felicia, honey, put the Twitter DOWN.
Felicia apparently likes the dragging she's getting…
Meh, we all have our kinks https://t.co/FYa4uGxJHi

Not judging.
When I was 21 I went on 2 dates with a woman named Gretchen.
It went nowhere.
I went up to Ontario to gamble with friends.
Late that night a woman started shouting at me in the casino bar.
It was her. She stalked me up to Canada.
I wonder if she changed her name to Felicia?🤔 https://t.co/SUIPfoxJ2H— Tandy (@DanTypo) June 7, 2022
Heh.
Anything is possible.
Objecting to a joke so hard that its punchline is illustrated perfectly. https://t.co/Ur2EcypQcd

The Washington Post is destroying itself from within and documenting it publicly in real time. It's beautiful to watch. https://t.co/VOClVfbm9v

It has been highly entertaining, that’s for sure.
One of my first mentors in journalism is on the Editorial Board of the Washington Post, and I'm tired of this.
You, ma'am, are an utter disgrace to journalism as a profession; one of the clearest examples of the many petulant, immature adult children who control our media. https://t.co/ILxdJdMY4g

The WaPo might not be hiring the very best human beings among us. https://t.co/msnhvsbJ21

Democracy dies in drama or something.
She is still throwing this tantrum? Good lord. https://t.co/p3ozfkPmdO

She just keeps going and going and going and going.

Oooh, that’s right. She made a nasty comment on social media, other WaPo journos came to her defense (including David Weigel) … but now she wants WaPo to shut other journos down for retweeting a joke and calling for kindness.
Yikes.

Really leaning into the "polar" part of that joke, aren't you? https://t.co/rScmPVHmvY

It’s like every day this whole mess is taken to a whole new level.
