Legislative Agenda Is DyingWashington Post White House reporter Annie Linskey was roundly criticized for a tweet Sunday about President Joe Biden.
The president attended mass at St. Joseph on the Brandywine in Wilmington on Sunday. The parish cemetery is where the presidents son Beau is buried, as well as Bidens first wife Neilia and infant daughter Naomi.
Neilia and Naomi Biden were killed in a car crash in 1972. Neilia was 30 years old and Naomi was 1 year old.
As the president walked outside, Linskey posted a photo and tweeted, Biden goes to church and walks through a graveyard in Wilmington as his legislative agenda is dying in Washington.
Linskey was immediately lambasted for the insensitive tweet

C'mon now, just because he's a lying bastard doesn't mean he isn't also an insensitive little ass.

The person who sent the insensitive tweet is a woman.
Or am I missing something. (Which is frequently true........)
