Apparently, anyone can get a Twitter “verified account” these days, especially if you’re at Trump-hating liberal with a penchant for sick, tasteless jokes.
Not long after news of the terrorist bombing with multiple fatalities in Manchester U.K., someone named David Leavitt decided that then would be the perfect time to make a couple of ‘funnies.’
This, from a guy who probably thinks he’s somehow morally superior to President Trump and his supporters, you know, a part of #TheResistance…

Needless to say, Leavitt was hammered, hard, and rightly so. He was even written about in foreign news publications as the “American journalist.” It’s not the impression the rest of us would like the world to have of Americans, but then, he is a liberal.
@David_Leavitt This what the delete feature is for.

@DuncanSmithNBA @David_Leavitt This isn’t even funny

@DuncanSmithNBA @David_Leavitt I can remotely understand if it was a good joke, but this isn’t funny like at all.

@David_Leavitt you’re an embarrassment to boston (and earth). what if someone said this shit after the marathon bomb? don’t be an asshole for attention.

@Advil @David_Leavitt that’s truly unbelievable. and the fact that it had so many RTs & likes makes me wanna vomit.

@David_Leavitt Dude, no. Delete and sincerely apologise to save yourself a shred of grace and dignity. Don’t just carry on joking, you plum.

@TrumpZone @RAMRANTS @alltwentypilots Yeah, you can go away with your pathetically inappropriate political word vomit.

Leavitt got the message, or messages (looks like hundreds of them), but did he apologize profusely? Nope, this is what he did:
Checked my phone and got this message from Twitter. Try swearing at me now! pic.twitter.com/TbIXnxhusM
— David Leavitt (@David_Leavitt) May 22, 2017
And this…
Too soon?
— David Leavitt (@David_Leavitt) May 23, 2017
Ya think? Leavitt’s Twitter profile says he’s a “Freelance Writer” for “CBS, AXS, Yahoo!, Examiner, & etc.” Wonder if any of those publications might have a problem with the fact that one of their contributors is an insensitive asshat?
@David_Leavitt I’m sure @CBSTweet @CBSTVStudios @CBS @Yahoo & others you “freelanced” for will think hiring you again is always too soon. Tick tock 15 mins pic.twitter.com/GkzZOqHfnC

@David_Leavitt Just get to it already. pic.twitter.com/dmVTKz8wox

Finally, FINALLY Leavitt got the message and apologized…

But it’s too little, too late, and nobody’s buying what he’s selling now…
@David_Leavitt It doesn’t matter the “magnitude of the tragedy”… you knew people—CHILDREN—died and used it to whore yourself out for likes.

@David_Leavitt Dickwad. If you didn’t understand how insensitive your comments were, you have absolutely ZERO empathy, morals, or intelligence. pic.twitter.com/xJtMf7IqkH
