As Twitchy told you yesterday, media outlets like the Washington Post and CNN didn’t have much to say about Cory Booker’s insane “complicit in the evil” remarks about Brett Kavanaugh’s SCOTUS nomination until Republicans “seized” on them.
This morning, WaPo’s Seung Min Kim is still going with that angle:
Senate Rs continue to seize on @CoryBooker's remarks that confirming Kavanaugh would be complicit in "evil."
McConnell on floor today: Booker "hasn't even met with Judge Kavanaugh, hasn't heard a word of testimony and he's citing Scripture. Scripture?"— Seung Min Kim (@seungminkim) July 26, 2018
Whatever happened to originality?
I'm sorry, 'seize'? The guy said that anyone supporting Kavanaugh was complicit in evil. Maybe we should all be asking Senator Booker to tone down the rhetoric

It was a crazy unhinged statement, if a Republican had made the very same statement, your tweet would look very different.

Did they also pounce?

It's pounce. We are pouncing. The only thing I seize is the day. https://t.co/YAvcPxM4JD

Apparently Kim’s gotten tired of tweeters SEIZING on her tiresome phrasing:
Twitter, you're especially stupid today.
Good-bye.— Seung Min Kim (@seungminkim) July 26, 2018
May we humbly suggest that the media do a better job of covering the news?
I'm just here for the ratio. And to POUNCE!

What happened? Did too many Republicans “seize” on your biased framing of the Booker story? Or did they “pounce”?

A little less bias could go a very long way.
Twitter is just “pouncing” on your awful journalism and “seizing” the opportunity to display your bias.
