    Bret Stephens says he so strenuously objected to being called a “bedbug” on Twitter because “there’s a bad history of being analogized to insects that goes back to a lot of totalitarian regimes in the past” 😂😂😂

        You would think journalists would have thicker skins than the rest of us ordinary mortals. It seems you would think wrong. But I give him credit for blaming Twitter when the lower-hanging fruit of @SusanSarandon is always within reach for those externalizing their own flaws.

        Did he forget chatting it up about bedbugs at Doral while his cronies compared Trump to a bedbug? Didn’t bother him then.

        How about being called worse that Mao, Stalin, and Hitler all wrapped into one? Causing deaths of those people (BTW ALL SOCIALISTS) > 100Million? That sounds worse than bedbug. All the while Mr. "Reliable" Sources nods his head, NYT/CNN/MSNBC...Democrats with bylines.
