The Jimmy Dore Show
Controversial Washington Post reporter Felicia Sonmez famously got her coworker Dave Weigel suspended after he retweeted a mildly sexist joke. But Sonmez herself got caught up in the resulting whirlwind as the Post newsroom devolved into a maelstrom of recrimination and backbiting that wound up seeing Sonmez herself fired for being such an annoying shit-stirrer.
Jimmy and The Dive’s Jackson Hinkle discuss the excesses of the #MeToo movement and whether we’ve reached a tipping point where sanity will once again prevail.

"There's a backlash coming." YES! I told people that the Johnny Depp trial had far more importance than most people realised. The backlash has begun!
“Did they fire both of her”? …. Like button CLICKED! 😆
The second anyone says something like "Is this who we are?" or "Do better!" you know they're a blank-brained sociopath just running on autopilot, trying to "win the game" by repeating the "current things we say".
Lack of self awareness? Careful words are violence for the weak!
BYE FELICIA
Ha!! thank u Jimmy for finding the tweet that we knew would be out there! These things always seem to work themselves out. Her little picture says cheese
Jimmy. Do you think she will sue the pants off them?
The best way to get ride of the WP
is everybody is fired by woke BS
Felicia should be appointed as the head of MSNBC or at least the Columbia School of Journalism. She is certainly a victim.
Gross Dave 1 – demon ginger 0
According to an MIT study 80% of women are currently taking some type of drug for, Bi polar and/or a mental related illnesses…..which means 20% of women are running around undiagnosed.
In her mind this is all because of that man’s tweet. She is probably melting down right now…
Man they really just straight up hire the most deranged people over at the Jeff Bezos CIA post.
Social media is dumb and inherently damaging. If both of these reporters had gone outside and dug a hole or stacked up rocks or something, none of this would have happened. I know JD loves the tweeter, but I've yet to see anything positive come from it or smartphones in general.
Journalism's Typhoid Mary. It should warn any man off one night stands.
would be funny to sit for a coffee and find her beside you and jut. start laughing … say nothing, but laugh maniacally.
Bi Felicia.
When you try to get your bosses fired, but are too stupid to realize that they can fire you first.
I cant senx her kind words either since i dont have twitter
WAPO jounalists should do their job instead of tweeting against each others
They’ re paid for that ?
Nothing wrong with that joke..considering she went complete bonkers. also nothing wrong with calling men children we act like it at times .
One compensation check for her and one for her split personality
She should apply at TYT.
Felicia did it on purpose to force the Washington Post to fire her so she could sue and settle for a million bucks. Ms. Sonmez is doing the same thing at the Washington Post right now………between the two of them they expect to collect a couple of million……..<s
How does a mega Karen like this, get to position she had at the WAPO?
Felicia comes across as an unhinged MANIAC in this situation 😳🤷♂️
Imagine being so shitty a person that you make even Dave Weigel and the Washington Post look comparatively good.
Kudos to The Washington Post for firing her for this off-the-wall behavior!! I never thought that would happen. Thanks as well for for the update on this story as I'd heard about the firing shortly after watching your other YouTube clip on this reporter!!
have there always been so many nut jobs around? or does social media just give them a mega phone?
Roll on the mid terms..
