An intern? A whole story on a mouthy…intern? Why don't people hold the media in higher regard? It's a real mystery. https://t.co/Zx4rjbhztF— Drew McCoy (@_Drew_McCoy_) June 21, 2017
Stop the presses! Mediaite has a damning new scoop on GOP Sen. Tom Cotton. OK, the scoop isn’t really on Tom Cotton, but they want it to be:

You wrote an article about an intern?— Perellis Maine (@twelvenot12) June 21, 2017
Who cares what an intern says? Literally dozens of them rotate through Senate offices every season. This shouldnt be news.— Ian H. Gray (@IanHGray) June 21, 2017
It got me to click on the article. Before I realized "oh, Intern??" Who gives an eff?— (_) (@DanielJeyn) June 21, 2017
when I first quickly scanned the headline, I misread that Cotton himself had said it. And I'm sure I'm not the only one.— Josh Hammer (@josh_hammer) June 21, 2017
Must be a slow news day. Interns on Capitol Hill don't always reflect the opinions of the members politics. Y'all suck for reporting this.— Wakanda Tour Guide (@ToureDeTrap) June 21, 2017
