Washington Post Reporter Doxxed For Writing Critical Article About Bernie Sanders

Washington Post reporter Philip Bump faced a deluge of criticism on social media after he wrote an article that angered Bernie Sanders supporters, with one troll even posting his home address on Twitter.

Needless to say, they let Bump know how they felt. “By the end of the day, I’d received thousands of negative tweets, negative comments on Facebook, and any number of emails…” Bump wrote Tuesday. “Someone called my editor to complain. Someone else posted my home address on Twitter.”

“Neither I nor anyone else writing critically about Sanders deserves the sort of response that has been received,” he said. “No, Twitter isn’t life. But irrational fury that leads to abusive behavior isn’t the sort of thing that should be ignored.”
