If you write something silly or A Married Woman Next Door Who Raises Three Waters (2019)foolish on Twitter, you're gonna get dragged.
CNN is getting a firsthand lesson in that universal truth after a Saturday tweet went decidedly off the rails. It was supposed to set the scene, pulling a particularly descriptive line from a story about Donald Trump's first evening in a post-Mueller Report world.
SEE ALSO: Two CNN reporters wore matching green jackets, and of course they got green screenedInstead, it set off a minor uproar as Twitter's forever-savage peanut gallery responded with a swarm of one-liners. To its credit, CNN chose to let the wave of snark break over the tweet rather than just deleting it (which would have surely made things worse, let's be real). Good sports over there at CNN.
Here's the offending tweet:

"On the evening Robert Mueller submitted his report to the Justice Department, President Trump was on the tiled patio of Mar-a-Lago, bathed in golden light, with his wife and son Barron, who had reached teenagerhood two days earlier."
It paints quite a picture, right? You can almost see the fading Friday sun's rays rippling across Trump's unusual skin shade of radioactive orange. It's like a scene out of some really messed up Charles Dickens story.
Troll Twitter trotted out its best material for this one. A bunch of people pondered about the literary inspiration behind the tweet. (It's actually a line from the linked story, FWIW.)

Others couldn't help noting the tweet's use of the word "golden," and that word's connection to a certain alleged incident referenced in Christopher Steele's infamous dossier.
