New York Times’ Bret Stephens Threatens Man’s Job for Calling Him a ‘Bedbug’

Breitbart:

*UPDATE: Snowflake Stephens just killed his Twitter account.

**UPDATE: You’ve got to watch this… Stephens went on MSNBC and basically compared being called a “bedbug” to the Holocaust and claimed — you’re not going to believe this — he cc’d the man’s boss, not to harm  him professionally, but to make the boss aware that his employee is like Hitler and stuff: WATCH HERE

Original Post Below… 

The ongoing meltdown over at the far-left New York Times marched on Monday when Never Trump columnist Bret Stephens threatened the job of a man who called him a “bedbug.”
According to Dave Karpf, an associate professor at George Washington University, a rather innocuous tweet resulted in a threat from Stephens.

Based on a hilarious report about the New York Times’ offices being infested with bedbugs (c’mon, that’s funny), Karpf, who is no fan of Stephens, fired off an anodyne tweet to his 13,400 followers calling the columnist a “bedbug.”

“The bedbugs are a metaphor,” Karpf wrote. “The bedbugs are Bret Stephens.”

Karpf didn’t even “at” Stephens, meaning tag him in the tweet so it would be guaranteed to show up in his feed.

Karpf says the tweet did nothing, got no traction, not a single retweet and only nine “likes.” Nevertheless, about an hour later, he not only received a threatening email from Stephens, the Never Trumper also cc’d Karpf’s provost, which in university language means his boss. more here

  1. @cato. Bloodsucking socialist vermin that invade your safe space.
    I stayed in a hotel for business for one night in a liberal run city (redundant. No other kind) and started itching and getting little round red rash circles the next day. Finally realized, after looking at al gore’s amazing internet, that it was bed bugs.

    Basically, i had to burn my clothes, including my PJs, bed sheets. The works.

    Burning NYT offices down seems the prudent thing to do. Bedbugs require extermination.

  2. CC’ing his boss for his whinny missive was a dick move, kinda like, “I’m gonna tell your mom what you said”, he should lose his “man” card forever. But this is emblematic of how the left operates, unwilling to engage one on one, whether, from lack of conviction or courage, they need a mob for support and to provide a backbone.

    Stephens used to be a great writer for the WSJ, but whether by infection of nerve or the dark side, he turned, probably figuring that more money can be made as a Never Trumper. So now he is a paid mouthpiece for the DNC, whatever puts food on your table.

    He is right about twitter specifically and social media in general; there is an insidious underbelly that permeates, social filters that would normally govern behavior are removed to the point where every single thought must be expressed and disseminated, not a good thing.

  3. Hey, maybe we can call out some liberal as “Fredo the Bedbug.” It’s kind of funny, and would make their head explode. That’s a win-win in my book.

  4. Well talk about making a mountain out of an ant hill; a water buffalo out of a bed bug? What a dick!
    What a waste of air time, and air. WHF is it with these
    girlymen who work for the Times? Did they ever in their lives encounter some ball breaking, ribbing,discomfort, harassment? Were they raised in green houses.
    Shieut! I remember years ago in Fort Jackson, Basic Training, I screwed up. Something minor, or so I thought, not so with the DI. He had me on my back on the parade field, arms and legs in the air, wiggling them and shouting, screaming: I AM A DYING COCKROACH, I AM A DYING COCKROACH. Over and over for about fifteen minutes.
    Wonder if Bret, now there’s a name that really sucks, would call his mommy to contact the Sec. of The Army to complain? Glad I’m on the back nine y’all. MAGA!
    All the Brets in the world, change it to Beto. another asshole.

  5. The guy is a cuck… sounded as though he might burst into tears.. especially after the anchorette asked if that was the worst he had ever been called.. and the worst was probably to his weasel face.
