We knew it was inevitable, but still. Really, WaPo? Like, really?
Samantha Bee called Ivanka Trump a vulgar word. Conservatives and the White House aren’t happy. https://t.co/HVQ0PFQ15X

You guys have no shame left, do you?
This is the more subtle version of "Conservatives Pounce"https://t.co/WjPChJGLnY

Yeah … there’s nothing subtle about it.

Republicans pounce on Samantha Bee calling a mother holding her baby a “feckless c***.” https://t.co/XDE987xo0q

So once again, the story is the reaction from conservatives, not that what she said was appalling. It would be nice if media — who I support and we need — didn’t actively discredit itself every damn day. https://t.co/8bHyGPZTFQ

Yet another “conservatives pounce” spin on a story that the left doesn’t like. These people are as predictable as the sunrise. https://t.co/NoOfHpCOhR

It never fails.
Anybody with decency should not be happy.
— Thomas Diamond (@Tdiamond1993) May 31, 2018
Shldn’t we uniformly be unhappy about this? But once again, somehow vulgarity is acceptable when it’s directed at conservative women. Wapo, you shld be ashamed.

[insert non-liberal person here] called Malia Obama a vulgar word. Leftists and the White House aren't happy. – headlines you would never see while Obama was president

Too bad WaPo’s phrasing actually backfired and made liberals look like the bad guys:
Interesting phrasing. Are you saying the Democrats are happy?
— New Federalist Party (@FederalistNew) May 31, 2018
So liberals are okay with the c word? Got it
— Jana Robinson (@jlee67wl) May 31, 2018
So Liberals *are* happy?
Thanks for pointing that out.

This is quite a slam on liberals. https://t.co/QhIT7Czx7M

Nice work as usual, WaPo.

I'm a liberal and I'm not happy either. The corsening of our dialogue is not productive
— Susan Westler (@SWestler) May 31, 2018
This Democrat isn’t, either. Women shouldn’t bring other women down.

And in case WaPo hadn’t screwed this pooch enough, they managed a pretty major self-own, too:
Question – Why aren't YOU upset, WaPo?
— Sgt Hulka's Big Toe (@SgtHulkasToe) May 31, 2018
WP you should also be upset
— frank (@Cubapsychmd) May 31, 2018
Only conservatives and the White House aren’t happy?
Do you take no issue with what she said?
And you wonder why people view you as a wing of the Democratic Party…

Is the Washington Post I happy about it? Asking for a country. https://t.co/hWeHwNaHqy
