Old story bites Neera Tanden, who thinks people who tweet whistleblower's name should be ashamed

Neera Tanden, president of the Center for American Progress, thinks that people who tweet out the name of the whistleblower should be ashamed of themselves — but didn’t Sen. Chuck Schumer just say yesterday that no one knows who the whistleblower is? Besides, most people in her mentions think anyone who tweets the whistleblower’s name should be jailed for committing a felony.

People who tweet out the name of the whistle blower should be ashamed of themselves. Period.

We’re not sure if Tanden was thinking of anyone in particular, although journalist Yashar Ali is in big trouble for a now-deleted tweet in which he disclosed the alleged whistleblower’s last name — and that tweet was about Donald Trump Jr. sharing a Breitbart article naming the whistleblower.

@yashar, why did you delete this? pic.twitter.com/t28UjJtJmy

Oops.

I love the outrage about me tweeting an article about the “alleged” whistleblower… also good to know you have other sources confirming.

Those thinking I coordinated with The White House to tweet out a @BreitbartNews article haven’t been watching my feed much. Didn’t happen! https://t.co/CEOZBmcX4p

OK, so Trump Jr. should be ashamed, as should Ali. But maybe there’s some room for Tanden to be ashamed too.

Hoisted on own petard. Period.

E-R-I-C C-A-I-R-A-M-E-L-L-A. . . Whew. That actually took awhile but I wanted to make sure people got his name with the correct spelling. Phonetically, to cover all the bases, I believe it’s CHAR-ah-mella but willing to stand corrected if I missed something. https://t.co/8XutqwGPdL

#EricCiaramella is not a 'whistleblower' https://t.co/WMqLk4ZvlW

Hey guys,

I better not see any of my followers tweeting the name 'Eric Ciaramella' at Nerra, OK?

We don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. https://t.co/wnw23535im

I think she's talking about Eric Ciaramella https://t.co/jXdEqzyoIa

— J C (@jcorrigan22) November 6, 2019

You mean Eric Ciaramella?

I don't see why you and your media and Dem (but I repeat myself) pals should know his name, and not us mere citizens.

Eric Ciaramella.

Who the hell you think you people are to tell us what we can and can't know?

Eric Ciaramella. https://t.co/56nDUshzKz

We hope all of the above are suitable ashamed of themselves.
