Whats the bedbug story?

[–] [email protected] 30 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Some random guy on Twitter called him a bedbug and Bret wrote an entire article about how that was antisemitic. It got enough attention that Trump made fun of him.

He also left a link where he had already typed in the search field "jews as bedbugs" to try and find literally anything to make it antisemitic

Wasn’t the bedbug comment because he’s a slumlord? I’m trying to remember my citations-needed lore

It came from an article about how the nyt building was being fumigated for bedbugs and someone on Twitter replied to it with a joke about how Bret Stephens was being taken care of or something along those lines. He read it and got incredibly upset and tried to ruin this guys life.
