Let’s face it: This news cycle sucks. So it’s only natural for Jake Tapper to want to lighten the mood a little bit:
"I AM THE MELTED SKULL OF NAZI MAJOR ARNOLD TOHT, THE RUTHLESS GESTAPO AGENT WITH THE BURNED HAND IN RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, AND I APPRECIATE YOUR SUDDEN INTEREST IN MY THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS"https://t.co/6zoasuG7UP

The Washington Post’s Philip Bump took great offense to that, suggesting that Tapper’s not doing his job:
not sure if you are aware, but the rest of us are covering criminal charges against a former administration official and a massive tax reform bill

Not sure if you are aware, Philip, but if you pick a fight with Jake Tapper, it’s not gonna end well for you:
not even remotely the same thing as you and Graham talking about nonsensical things about me in the midst of the worst mass shooting in modern history. but you do you.

Here’s what Tapper’s referring to:
Ok but I'm still gonna bother Jake and Jason
— David A. Graham (@GrahamDavidA) October 2, 2017
leave me alone too please
— Philip Bump (@pbump) October 2, 2017
hahaha

Hahaha, indeed.
This isn't a good look today.

It sure wasn’t. While Philip was giggling about Tapper, “the rest of us” were covering the deadly mass shooting in Las Vegas. Self-righteous douchenozzle Bump just got flattened by Tapper — and he totally deserved it.
That's gonna leave a mark.

Damn, Bump got REKT

Remember Vince Carter doing the reverse 360 tomahawk dunk and then hanging on the rim by his entire forearm?
That's the level of dunk Jake just dropped on @pbump. https://t.co/sUw08GNL6y

Jake's been plucky lately.

And we’re really digging it.
