BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd’s comparisons of former President Barack Obama to “The Great Gatsby” and Marie Antoinette were apparently too extreme for many liberal fans of the ex-commander-in-chief on Twitter this weekend.
Many social mediaites suggested Dowd was being a “Karen” for penning the critical piece, while others accused her of being “jealous” that she wasn’t invited to Obama’s celebrity-packed Martha’s Vineyard birthday party last weekend.
“This has nothing to do with jealousy!” Dowd angrily tweeted. “And this has nothing to do with the last time I went to one of their parties and getting my feelings hurt, when the Obamas including their children, were constantly laughing at the way I dance.”
