The Washington Post reporters have been making their their anti-Trump bias glaringly evident on Twitter by posting a picture of them celebrating after the impeachment of President Trump.

The Post’s Congressional reporter Rachael Bade posted a picture of herself and four other colleagues having alcoholic beverages and food with a caption: “Merry Impeachmas from the WaPo team!”

The picture, taken at the local Washington bar Dublinger featured reporters Paul Kane, Karoun Demirjian, Seung Min Kim, and Mike DeBonis; moreover, three of the aforementioned reporters were CNN analysts, according to Daily Caller staff.

After the aforementioned picture and tweet received backlash and speculation over anti-Trump media bias, Bade immediately took down the tweet and wrote another follow-up Tweet that read— “I’m deleting a tweeting tonight that is being misinterpreted by some as an endorsement of some kind. To be absolutely clear, we at the Post are merely glad we are getting a break for the holidays after a long 3 months. I will retweet the group photo w/a better caption!”

While the Post reporter took her tweet down, it ended up triggering a chain of Tweets from several notable individuals criticizing the biased nature of her tweet.

Trump’s 2020 campaign manager Brad Parscale wrote saying, “Ladies & gentlemen, your fair and objective press corps in action! What a joke. Media needs to stop acting like they are ‘impartial'”.
