President Donald Trump’s campaign manager Brad Parscale on Thursday criticized a reporter for The Washington Post for tweeting a picture with the caption, “merry impeachmas from the WaPo team!”
Rachael Bade, who is also a CNN contributor, tweeted a picture of her with several other people in a restaurant with the caption shortly after Trump was officially impeached by the House of Representatives Wednesday evening.
“Ladies & gentlemen, your fair and objective press corps in action! What a joke,” Parscale tweeted. “Media needs to stop acting like they are ‘impartial.’”
Bade deleted the tweet and later said that it had been misinterpreted, and was not a celebration of the impeachment itself.
“I’m deleting a tweeting tonight that is being misinterpreted by some as an endorsement of some kind,” she tweeted at midnight on Thursday. “To be absolutely clear, we at the Post are merely glad we are getting a break for the holidays after a long 3 months. I will retweet the group photo w/ a better caption !”
