Bye, Felicia: Washington Post Fires Reporter Felicia Sonmez After Week of Infighting
breitbart.com ^ | 6/9/2022 | Jordan Dixon-Hamilton

The Washington Post fired its political reporter Felicia Sonmez on Thursday after she publicly criticized the paper and her colleagues for nearly one week straight.

Sonmez started internal drama at the company when she called out fellow reporter Dave Weigel on Twitter for retweeting an alleged sexist tweet last week.

Weigel retweeted a tweet that joked, “Every girl is bi. You just have to figure out if it’s polar or sexual.” Sonmez shared a screenshot of Weigel’s retweet and said, “Fantastic to work at a news outlet where retweets like this are allowed!”

On Monday, the Post suspended Weigel for one month without pay over his retweet, despite his public apology.

Sonmez’s feud with Weigel was not the only fight with one of her colleagues. Washington Post reporter Jose A. Del Real criticized Sonmez for publicly lambasting one of their colleagues.

🤣 So I guess it's true that some people can't take a joke after all? Did anyone determine which "bi" she is? Possibly both? So fitting: "BYE FELICIA!" 🤣🤣🤣

What a sophomoric joke. He left out the bi-racial, bi-lingual, bi-cyclist, ....
Some people are easily triggered. A trigger with a draw weight of less than 2 pounds is dangerous.

What did she want ‘em to do....give the man the electric chair?

What you are seeing is a glimpse into the liberal mind......no offense can be tolerated....no matter how slight.

Good riddance. It’s a step in the right direction, which is to burn down the Washington ComPost.

I cannot help but wonder if maybe we should start a petition for the Post to reinstate Felicia Sonmez. After all even crackpot publications like the Washington Post are entertaining when they are infighting.
Heck, I think they were just about ready to drop some real insults. Now I will never know.

The ashes might be toxic—they would need to be sent into the sun to be sure.

I guess she doesn’t have to worry about working at a news outlet that retweets like this are allowed. She must be happy.

I wonder if that puzzy soy boy in the IT Dept. that defended this clap trap and ripped the Co. is next? A real loser whom Mommy and Daddy wrote Stanford probably 350k in checks only for him to write code at a $hit operation. Puzzy wrote a Stanford Student paper Op-ed criticizing the Stanford Cafeteria not meeting his psycho requirements.

The Wall Street Journal felt the need to give this head case a job previously in her career. My oh my the WSJ has fallen and joined the swamp.
