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:

Here’s what Tapper’s referring to:
Ok but I'm still gonna bother Jake and Jason

leave me alone too please

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.

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.
