ARGLE BARGLE RAR! Horde of blue-check journos DOGPILE Ilhan Omar for DARING to suggest peeps in their profession 'need to do better'

As Twitchy readers know, Ilhan Omar called out any media using the hacked #FreedomConvoy donor’s information as a means to target and or harass people. Yeah, we were as shocked as you are right now reading this.

Ilhan had a moment of clarity? GTFO.

But ruh-roh, Ilhan was honest about journalists and they were none too happy with her:

Strongly and respectfully disagree. https://t.co/Bod5fvBmt2

Soledad doesn’t just disagree, she strongly disagrees.

TORMENT THEM DONORS!

Heh.

This tweet is totally wrong. The Ottawa Citizen did NOT write a story about a shop owner making a donation to the truckers. The piece is about a business closing down due to threats of violence after their donation was made public by others. It's a completely legitimate story. https://t.co/HdCOfofXQR

So fussy.

Poor Paul.

With respect, the woman you've quote-tweeted and the man who wrote the story are both outstanding journalists, and the story was newsworthy.

What we in Canada do not need is more needless denigration of those working to cover what is a significant local crisis. https://t.co/Ad4mMZhw5B

With respect … that’s cute.

And LOL, they don’t want ‘needless denigration’.

Suck it up, journos.

The article was about harassment a shop owner faced because her donation was revealed by a hack. It was about the harassment, not the cause of it. The article is actually fairly sympathetic to the owner, but, hey! Now we can all tweet about how journalism is evil. https://t.co/CeADC8uBel

Journalism is evil.

Just sayin’.

I fail to see why an American elected official couldn't be bothered to actually read the report before tweeting another bad take.

(because, spoiler alert, that's not what the story was about; the harassment came first, then the story was written.) https://t.co/n4LGWrhbgM

not helpful, Rep Omar. You've now caused *more* harassment. This journalist was doing her job; and now she's being harassed. If you read the report she shared, you'll see it covered how the shop owner was already being harassed as her name was in the leaked database. 1/2 https://t.co/XTBirY22NW

Hold on. Did journalists out her? All I see are pretty sympathetic articles about how she's being harassed, starting with one on Fox. https://t.co/VZPPReEbm9

IT’S ALL FOX NEWS’ FAULT! REEEE!
