Journalists and Celebs Rush to Delete Tweets Slamming MAGA-Hat Kids
Mediaite, Jan 21, 2019, Pardes Seleh
You can delete your old tweets, but the internet is forever. At least, that’s what the Screenshot Bot tells us.
Over the past 24 hours, journalists and public figures on Twitter have deleted previous posts slamming a group of MAGA hat-wearing teens for allegedly taunting a Native American vet, after more footage was released disputing the initial story. From CNN’s Jake Tapper to Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams, many on the internet are sharing a fuller explanation of the initial viral story.
Others, however, are very subtly just using the ‘delete’ button.
Recode editor and New York Times contributing op-ed writer Kara Swisher, for instance, deleted one tweet saying she was thinking of “finding every one of these shitty kids and giving them a very large piece of my mind,†and other tweets throwing slurs like “Nazi†and “nationalist.†Sinclair chief political correspondent Scott Thurman deleted a tweet alleging students in MAGA hats were “mocking†and “taunting†a Native American in front of the Lincoln Memorial in D.C., asking in a new tweet if the new video changed minds about the kids.

Anti-Trump activist Ed Krassenstein deleted a neutral tweet contemplating the intentions of Nick Sandmann, the young MAGA student accused of smirking at a Native American. His brother, Brian Krassenstein, deleted a tweet calling the students “bigoted.†The New Republic‘s Jeet Heer deleted a tweet arguing the MAGA hat-wearing teens were “racist.†CNN’s Bakari Sellers deleted a tweet suggesting the kids should be “punched in the face.â€

Noble conservative Bill Kristol also deleted his tweet on the subject.
Bill Kristol deletes tweet, fails to apologize for jumping on phony story of MAGA hat kids harassing Native American
American Thinker, Jan 21, 2019
Too bad for him that a Twitter account called Screenshot bot captured the tweet, exposing the cowardly retreat from the public stage when shown up as a phony virtue-signaler whose virtue was imaginary to begin with.

But they’ll jump right on the next BS story that comes down the pike as long as it suits their spiteful world view, and they’ll again look like effing clowns.
The left’s (and other establishment cretin’s) appetite for sh*t sandwiches is apparently insatiable. They can keep it up as far as I’m concerned.

Too bad the internet is forever. I'm sure they've been captured multiple places already.
