>>ee and they suspended for dave weigel with pay. he has so little dignity that he didn't resign.he's just n waiting at home on xbox to get back into the post newsroom. what's amazing is that dave weigel previously defended the same reporter who got allll mad when she was f in trouble fr a tweet about kobe bryant. anteo well, what a story. the we wanted to get to the bottom of this .his dangerou we want to talk to the mann who wrote this dangerous unauthorized, cruel and insensitive joke against oppressed womenag kampala's and we found him and he joins us now. and if youyo know if you would recommend a career with this joke when you wrote it,nd w i didn't know that . but if i had known i'd done it, i probably would have done itt earlier.hink i think. it was an unintended benefit. now y when you wrote this show, did you meann to attacktt with verbal violence and dehumanize half the population of the united states? not not no. itedi was i was i was talking to some friends in a group chat and someone said this and it i was the first time i heard it. apparently this is an old joke, so

it started with a re-tweet from dave weigel seen here awaiting a chin transplant. terrible. stop it. [applause] >> mean. you people are mean. so he retwooeted this joke. every girl is bi. you just have to figure out if it's polar or sexual. i will definitely not be laughing at that lame joke. but obviously, a re-tweet because it's better than his usual stuff. so then weigel's post colleague took a screen shot of his re-tweet -- it's like high school -- and wrote fantastic work at a work outlet where retweets are allowed. that's nice of her. unless she was being sarcastic. but in the twitter world where she's operating -- but too little too late. according to cnn, weiel has been suspended without pay for a re-tweet of a joke. but i can relate to him. i rere-tweeted some stuff in the past. cigarettes make you popular and hot. how about this one? when it comes to dining out, nothing beats the wuhan wet market. i had to return the money that i got for that one. looking forward to my island vacay with my good friend jeff epstein. this one, believe all women that say i'm sexy. and

howard: now look, a political writer, dave weigel, she went after him.to retweet a demeaning and sexist joke on women, and he did quickly apologize and delete it, she just kept it up, and finally sally buzbee had to play high school principal and say, kids, cut it out. and she continues these tweets against management and other post reporters and staffers who had jumped in. it almost seems like, you know, it got totally out of control. >> it did, yeah. and the most bizarre part of it was the was at one point, it seemed like there was a directive the, hey, everyone who likes "the washington post," can you tweet about how much you like being here? so delaware felicia got mad at them also, it was just a nightmare playing out in public. howard: right. other papers have had this problem. is this the the new, younger, woke generation that just seems to be able to attack anybody online, and the bosses should just butt out? >> absolutely. i think there is a different mentality about what, you know, what counts for objectivity or just getting your opinion out thi

she went after political writer dave weigel for a sexist joke.politecally suggested everyone makes mistakes and move on, she went after him, saying he did not seem to care about sexism. the new editor ordered to stop attacking colleagues either face-to-face or online and be constructive. but sonmess kept it up, tweet storm after tweet storm, ripping colleagues and post management for those bizarrely attacking me for speaking out, of course i'm speaking out. "the post" accused her, and said it hurt the paper's reputation, that's for sure. what's sad, the paper that 50 years ago helped bring down richard nixon is consumed by staffers going after each other. as for felicia sonmez, her twitter feed is silent at least for now. >> john: seeing a lawsuit somewhere down the road here. you used to work at this place, in its glory days. what happened? >> it was a -- the younger crowd thinks they can trash anybody, and we should know twitter is a dangerous place for journalists. >> john: trashing your bosses and colleagues, and the tweet that weigel, what w
