As Twitchy told you earlier, New York Times tech columnist Kevin Roose suggested that Boomer volunteers’ technological ineptitude played a major role in last night’s Iowa caucus mess. But New York Times White House correspondent and CNN analyst Maggie Haberman’s take is arguably even better:
One thing to consider amid the caucuses snafu – the president has thrown accelerant on distrust of institutions, and this is another one. He has highlighted the Dem party ills around this caucus in tweets. It is in contrast to Obama silence on the Romney/Santo mess in 2012.

We need oven mitts for that one.
We might have a winner. https://t.co/U3yaFba9E4

And how!
It’s Trump’s fault everybody!

Everyone at the NY Times hellbent on blaming everyone but Democrats for this mess. They are broken.

Seems like a reasonable assessment at this point.
Hilarious. Yes we all thought what was happening in Iowa was just fine until Trump said something.

Oh boy that’s a stretch for blaming Trump. The Iowa Dem party did this all on their own thanks.

Obviously the inability of Democrats to count votes in their own caucus is Trump's fault.
This is why no one pays for your crap unless they already agree with it. https://t.co/uMB4SYxoVR

Are you kidding?
Adam Schiff just falsely accused President Trump of "cheating" in 2016 & trying to steal 2020
Democrats & the media have tried for 3 years to delegitimize the votes of 63 million Americans
Democrats only have themselves to blamehttps://t.co/YufowemcZ1

The media’s hands certainly aren’t clean here.
Imagine being a NY Times reporter and thinking that it's Trump who has "thrown accelerant on distrust of institutions" and not, you know, media outlets like the NY Times or the pre-Trump political establishment. https://t.co/jYeyReDJD2

Media blaming Trump for their own promulgation of a false and dangerous theory that Trump won 2016 via Russia collusion. Insane corruption of our media on full display today. https://t.co/RdJpdnmkJu
