The Washington Post:
Several reporters from The Washington Post weren’t shy about celebrating the House Democrats’ impeachment of President Trump. They posted on Twitter a picture with the caption “Merry Impeachmas from the WaPo team!”
The tweet was later deleted.
I’m deleting a tweeting tonight that is being misinterpreted by some as an endorsement of some kind. 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 !
