A New York Times editor lost her job after receiving criticism for tweeting about her excitement for President Joe Biden’s inauguration.
Journalist Yashar Ali broke the news of Lauren Wolfe’s departure from The Times in a series of tweets last Thursday, saying that she had been let go from her editing job at The Times for tweeting about her “chills” seeing Biden land at Joint Base Andrews on the eve of his inauguration.
“Biden landing at Joint Base Andrews now. I have chills,” she tweeted on January 19, adding a screengrab from CNN of a plane landing.
