As reported earlier by Cassandra Fairbanks — New York Times op-ed columnist and Never-Trumper Bret Stephens had a bad day on Tuesday after snitching to the boss of a professor who wrote a funny viral tweet comparing him to a bed bug when news broke that the newspaper’s office is infested.

Stephens then deleted his Twitter account amid massive backlash and mockery for his thin skin.

Dish it out but can’t take it Dept: Bret Stephens was upset that some professor called him a “bedbug” on twitter, so he sent him a personal note to complain (and a dinner invite) and cc’d his Provost. pic.twitter.com/NtTjmixsn9 — Laura Ingraham (@IngrahamAngle) August 27, 2019

Bret Stephens wrote the man’s bass after being compared to a bug.

This is the same guy who regularly targets President Trump and his supporters with vicious attacks.

On Wednesday President Trump jumped in and slammed the “bedbug” reporter.

Hah-Hah!

“The infestation of bedbugs at The New York Times office” @OANN was perhaps brought in by lightweight journalist Bret Stephens, a Conservative who does anything that his bosses at the paper tell him to do! He is now quitting Twitter after being called a “bedbug.” Tough guy! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 28, 2019

He wasn’t through yet.
