Few things are as pathetic – or as entertaining – as watching liberals face plant in pompous attacks on President Donald Trump that come back to bite them.

Former CNN anchor Soledad O’Brien aimed a shot at the president and First Lady Melania Trump but ended up stepping on the rake herself.

Reacting to a report on the White House releasing the official Christmas portrait of the Trumps, O’Brien tweeted that “they forgot to include their kid,” apparently referring to the couple’s son, Barron.

They forgot to include their kid. https://t.co/30unhnnCea

She didn’t have long to gloat over her snarky comment as the feedback came in.

So did the Obamas, dumbass. ? https://t.co/xcNIznWIr2

With the instant magic of social media, the journalist was taken on a trip down memory lane.

A journalistic endeavor by Elite Daily sought to compare the Trump and Obama portraits, noting “one big difference” between them.

According to the author, Hannah Golden:

However, it’s worth noticing one key area where their two portraits aren’t exactly the same. Donald and Melania are standing shoulder to shoulder, holding hands, facing directly forward to the camera in a more formal stance, with a full picture of the hall behind them. Comparatively, Michelle and Barack stand close together at an angle with their arms around each other, and the camera is set in a close-up and more intimate shot.

Golden did acknowledge, “Honestly, whatever you think of the Trumps or their decor, that’s a nice photo.”

That was apparently more than O’Brien could muster in the rabid need to attack Trump for anything, even a photo wishing the nation a Merry Christmas.

It’s the official White House Christmas photo. None have ever included the children.

Interesting that the Official White House Christmas photo is *always* just the President and First Lady and this is being made out to be some kind of thing ????? pic.twitter.com/88EpsOaFle

Reaction on Twitter continued to call out O’Brien for her petty and “shallow” comment.

Soledad. You were once a journalist I respected. You’ve become so petty and tribal. I’m sure this won’t bother you. But I gotta unfollow you. You are better than this. I hope you get back to that one day. Merry Christmas.

Don’t be so shallow and nasty. Maybe they don’t want the exposure. https://t.co/gbw4PqEvZk

Soledad, as usual, is being disrespectful and purposefully biased.

Did the Obamas also forgot to include their kids? pic.twitter.com/EO6xVbVDRI

How much sickness and hate does someone have to have in their heart to not even be able to say the child’s name? O’Brien, you really do hate well.

@soledadobrien This is when you need to look in the mirror, recognize how petty and nasty you are and adjust your attitude You obviously suffer from severe TDS #TDS #SoledadOBrien
