More fake news...seeing is believing, unless you have "Trump Derangement Syndrome" Published May 2, 2022 1:51pm EDT New York Times deletes, edits tweet about Weather Underground terrorist Kathy Boudin Boudin took part in armored truck heist that left 3 people dead. The New York Times quickly deleted a scathing tweet Sunday on the breaking news that Kathy Boudin, a member of the radical militant group Weather Underground, had died, replacing it with softer language. "Kathy Boudin, who as a member of the Weather Underground took part in the murderous 1981 holdup of a Brink’s armored truck, died on Sunday. She was 78," the initial tweet said. However, within two minutes, the tweet was deleted and replaced with kinder words for the convict who spent decades in prison following a 1981 armored truck heist that left two police officers and a security guard dead. "Kathy Boudin, a member of the Weather Underground imprisoned for her role in a fatal robbery but who later helped former inmates, died at 78," the new tweet reads. The Times’ change in language was swiftly criticized by Twitter users. "Why did you delete your tweet softening Kathy Boudin’s role in a deadly terrorist attack? Pretending to be a scared woman, she pleaded with the officers to lower their weapons so that her comrades could burst out the back of the truck to shoot them dead," independent journalist Andy Ngo wrote. "Notorious domestic terrorist who committed the most infamous crime in my home town's history. Her son faces a recall election as San Francisco DA on June 7. Initial NYT tweet was, apparently, a little too candid," National Review Senior Writer Dan McLaughlin tweeted. One less terrorist that we have to feed! Rot in hell.
