A New York Times reporter received backlash on social media after making a comment on another network that critics believe dismissed concerns about former President Obama’s star-studded maskless birthday party over the weekend.

New York Times White House Correspondent Annie Karni discussed the controversy surrounding Obama’s much-criticized Martha’s Vineyard celebration where he was seen not wearing a mask and used the term "sophisticated" crowd, saying that the guests were "following all the safety precautions."

"A NYT reporter on CNN justifying Obama's huge maskless birthday bash because he only invited "a sophisticated, vaccinated crowd" is about as emblematic of liberal discourse as it gets," Greenwald tweeted. "What happened to all the concerns about vaccinated people passing Delta to the unvaccinated?"

"Of course viruses don’t attack sophisticated people, Muffy!" attorney Harmeet K. Dhillon tweeted.

Everybody must get stoned…

"Very cosmopolitan".

He din’t leave out “clean and articulate” did he?

I pray they all get what they deserve. In massive heaps.

"a sophisticated, vaccinated crowd"

Recognize your betters, serfs!

Sadly - not sarcasm. That is how those {censored} elitists on the left think. Tragic yes, but funny too - they actually believe they are better than us.

Historically, it has happened many times. Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin.

Was Lord Fauxcy in attendance?

There was a photo of the drinks table with a bottle of Hennessey.

Where's the Colt 45 malt liquor?

“Was Lord Fauxcy in attendance?”

He was at home torturing his dog. For ‘Science’.

[Fido969]

“Muffy”. LOL!

[reintarnation]

"I be safisticated!"

[Paladin2]

And here I thought he just tortured Data, not unlike The Mann [of Steyn fame...].

;-)

[TLI]

They are just "too nuanced" for the mere peasants.

[freespirit2012]

sophisticated and vaxxed do not fit together.

[simpson96]

Typical liberal elite female - fashionably emaciated body, complete with scarf.

[HotHunt]

".... elitists on the left....actually believe they are better than us...."

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is exactly why I don't pay attention to a word they say since they are so much better than I am.

So smart, in fact, that the virus has trouble finding them.

What the f does sophistication have to do with vaccination?

Obama is such an elitist. Omnipotent. Arrogant. Misguided.

[hoe_cake]

Covid...oh, should I say, the more sophisticated '‘Delta Variant', doesn't discriminate, just like addiction. Obama has his head so far up his own bloated arse he can't see straight. He clearly is addicted.

Obama Variant.
