Alrighty then.
1 - @davekarpf, I read the tweet and laughed. I regret not retweeting it.
2 - #StreisandEffect writ large (@bretstephensNY you should Google this)
3 - Do any American conservative pundits or pols understand what "punching down" means?

I found this @Slate essay from 2017 about a @bretstephensNY interview with @voxdotcom to be enlightening. Thank you, @bing, for putting it in the right sidebar when I went looking for Brett's age (45)

Dear @washingtonpost - seriously folks. Update your stock photo of @bretstephensNY! He barely looks 21 in that pic.

Finally, based on public statements -- American conservatives are thin-skinned and seem to be missing the sense-of-humor gene.
Oh. Good. Grief.
More of the 'take my toys and go home' behavior so common from thin-skinned white men these days from #BretStephens (who now tweets as @bretstephensNY)
@bretstephensNY Or not. I'm not convinced @bretstephensny is really #bretStephens .
"I do NOT want to create the personal safe place I so adamantly lamented in the past (emphasis added)."
This sentence from the first tweet is gibberish.
This thread from @AynRandPaulRyan
#BretStephens #bretbug
And to be pedantic, @davekarpf followed up news about bedbugs in the NYT newsroom by saying that metaphorically the bedbugs were #BretStephens . So he was insulting bedbugs. Just saying. #bretbug
