Right Leaning Folks Pounce on Writer – She’s Forced to Deactivate Her Account

New York Times editor Lauren Wolfe has been forced to deactivate her Twitter account after being heavily ridiculed for hyping the arrival of President-elect Joe Biden at Joint Base Andrews the day before the inauguration.

While watching CNN’s coverage of Joe Biden’s plane landing on the tarmac Wolfe tweeted out her dramatic reaction.

“Biden landing at Joint Base Andrews now,” Wolfe wrote. “I have chills.”

The editor then took a jab at the Trump administration for not furnishing a military airplane to transport Biden from Delaware.

“The pettiness of the Trump admin not sending a military plane to bring him to D.C. as is tradition is mortifying,” she wrote, adding the insult, “Childish.”

Critics pounced on the Times editor, many of them referring to former MSNBC host Chris Matthew’s infamous comment about President Obama when he said, “I felt this thrill going up my leg.”

Wolfe quickly deleted the tweet of her attacking the Trump administration after critics fact-checked her comment citing reports of the Biden team being offered a military plane but choosing to fly private.
