Ex-DNC associate comms director TJ Helmstetter has spent much of his time lately getting roasted for getting himself thrown out of a D.C. barbecue restaurant for harassing a MAGA-hat wearing man and his girlfriend. Despite getting ratio’d into oblivion, Helmstetter remains fully convinced that his action was a righteous one.
And the Washington Post is apparently willing to indulge that delusion. WaPo food reporter Tim Carman would like to get TJ’s side of this story:
TJ, got a minute to talk about this incident?
— Tim Carman (@timcarman) July 5, 2019
For WaPo, Tim? TJ’s got all the time in the world.
Apparently all F'n day.

However much time it takes to help raise awareness of his stunning bravery.
Thank God you’re here, I could feel the Democracy fading away with the light

Needless to say, Carman and WaPo are getting smoked.
Oh God dude you’re really gonna run with this? ?

You're going to run a story on this asshole?

So this jackass is the instigator and you want to write a story about it? It will be interesting to see the narrative. His own tweets clearly show he was offended by a piece of clothing which is incredibly childish and shows a lack of maturity.

Taking predictions now as to how this will end up:
I’m sure your article won’t be biased and definitely won’t try to paint the restaurant as being in the wrong.

Here goes the WaPo into “Whip up a mob of pussy hat wearing freaks to run an establishment that doesn’t kowtow to liberal hysteria, delusions, and TDS out of business” mode. https://t.co/UWiVPm6wtS
