‘I Screwed Up’: David Brooks Addresses Airport Tweet that Got Him Roasted into Oblivion

‘I screwed up’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

BROOKS: “Well, first it started out hatched in my mind as a joke ’cause if you looked at what I was eating, it was bourbon and a very fattening hamburger and fries. So, I can’t afford to make bad lifestyle choices.

But the problem with the tweet, which I wrote so stupidly, was it made it seem like I was oblivious to something that is blindingly obvious – that an upper-middle-class journalist having a bourbon at an airport is a lot different from a family living paycheck-to-paycheck.”
