Ah, Twitter. What would we do without knowing the instant and unfiltered reaction of every single person with itchy fingers and wi-fi at the ready?

To that end, here are five tweets that did not age well in 2017. Some of them might have even been dead on arrival. For the purposes of this list, we’re sticking with verified (blue check mark) Twitter accounts. These are in no particular order.

1) Bill Kristol and tax reform

It took until the end of the calendar year, but this tweet by the Weekly Standard’s Bill Kristol now looks awkward and bitter.

Tax reform won't even get a vote in Congress this year. I'd be surprised if it made it through committee in either house. https://t.co/WMJBpwKrmZ

— Bill Kristol (@BillKristol) August 29, 2017

Ouch.

Hey, Bill, we get it, you don’t like Trump. That’s okay. But this perpetual gloom-and-doom act is getting old. Trump is the president until at least 2020. Maybe you should try and find a few silver linings occasionally?

2) April Ryan, CNN reporter, and “Piegate”

When is a pie not a pie? When Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders bakes it, apparently.

I️ dont cook much these days, but managed this Chocolate Pecan Pie for Thanksgiving at the family farm! pic.twitter.com/rO8nFxtly7

— Sarah Sanders (@PressSec) November 23, 2017

Cue April Ryan, who demanded PROOF! NOW! that Sanders baked the pie.

Show it to us on a table. https://t.co/ifeSBlSZW7

— AprilDRyan (@AprilDRyan) November 24, 2017

I am not trying to be funny but folks are already saying #piegate and #fakepie Show it to us on the table with folks eating it and a pic of you cooking it. I am getting the biggest laugh out of this. I am thankful for this laugh on Black Friday! https://t.co/ifeSBlSZW7

— AprilDRyan (@AprilDRyan) November 24, 2017

When no proof could be found that the pie was actually a stock image, Sanders offered to make pie for Ryan.

Don’t worry @AprilDRyan because I’m nice I’ll bake one for you next week #RealPie #FakeNews 😉 https://t.co/5W3mGbKs4J

— Sarah Sanders (@PressSec) November 24, 2017

Ryan doubled down.

Okay I want to watch you bake it and put it on the table. But forgive I won’t eat it. Remember you guys don’t like the press. https://t.co/gcAt1Sl32i

— AprilDRyan (@AprilDRyan) November 25, 2017

@PressSec you can bring any pie you like, store bought or homemade into the briefing room. But, trust and believe I will not be eating it. But I will be raising my hand for answers relevant questions.

— AprilDRyan (@AprilDRyan) November 25, 2017

She should have been eating crow at this point. And Sanders had a little fun at Ryan’s expense a few weeks later.

It’s pie time! With or without bourbon @AprilDRyan? #piegate pic.twitter.com/2xw58FDFg6

— Sarah Sanders (@PressSec) December 14, 2017

Ryan really should have taken Mike Huckabee’s advice.

“Let me tell you something, she’s been making this pie for years… makes them for friends, but here’s the warning that I would issue. Stuart, don’t ever and I mean don’t ever mess with a Southern woman and her homemade pies. It is as dangerous as when you hear a Southern woman begin her sentence with ‘bless your heart.’ It means you’re about to be gutted like a deer and just don’t know it.”

3) Lena Dunham believes all women, except that one

2017 will long be remembered as the year when Hollywood was rightfully ripped to shreds as a vacuous, soulless, heinous example of what happens when people have the power to make or break the careers and lives of others. Quite honestly, Ronan Farrow probably deserves a Pulitzer for his work in exposing Harvey Weinstein and opening the floodgates to stores that took down the likes of Kevin Spacey, Matt Lauer, and Russell Simmons, among others.

And before the Weinstein story – and everything that followed – broke, feminist poseur Lena Dunham, who has a long track record of being a terrible human being, said this:

Things women do lie about: what they ate for lunch. Things women don't lie about: rape.

— Lena Dunham (@lenadunham) August 4, 2017

At least, that was her stance until this super woke feminist’s friend was accused of rape. Then, no, don’t believe all women, because that one MUST be lying.

‘Girls’ Writer Murray Miller Accused of Raping Underage Actress Aurora Perrineau (Exclusive)

"Passengers" star says she woke up in 2012 with Murray "on top of me having sexual intercourse with me"https://t.co/Yyamj5p8ND pic.twitter.com/ztpyTslRQa

— TheWrap (@TheWrap) November 17, 2017

Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner defend 'Girls' writer amid sexual assault claim: "We stand by Murray" https://t.co/46J9Aa7SOA pic.twitter.com/cLNMpPzIwV

— Hollywood Reporter (@THR) November 18, 2017

Yeah, that went over just about as well as you think it did. Dunham tried damage control, but that ship had sailed. We can only hope that this is the end of Lena Dunham being taken seriously.

4) Linda Sarsour and Jerusalem

Here we have the tweet that was dead on arrival.

#Jerusalem is not the capital of Israel no matter how many times Trump says it. He doesn't speak for me.

— Linda Sarsour (@lsarsour) December 6, 2017

Oh, where to begin… maybe with a map and some history?

You see, Linda, the nation of Israel calls Jerusalem its capital. I know this is hard for a raging anti-Semite like yourself to understand, but Donald Trump did not make Jerusalem the capital of Israel. All he did was acknowledge that Israel says it is the capital, and decided to move our embassy there. And thanks to him and to Ambassador Nikki Haley, we have affirmed our friendship with the ONLY stable democracy in the Middle East.

Thank you, Ambassador Haley. On Hanukkah, you spoke like a Maccabi. You lit a candle of truth. You dispel the darkness. One defeated the many. Truth defeated lies. Thank you, President Trump. Thank you, Nikki Haley. pic.twitter.com/zFIiStoait

— Benjamin Netanyahu (@netanyahu) December 18, 2017

I hope that video gives Linda Sarsour heartburn.

5) Ben Rhodes and lies

Oh, where to begin with Ben Rhodes, noted author of the Iran deal disaster and Obama apologist. Let’s look in the wayback machine for this one:

The President repeatedly lying is devastating to US credibility around world. If people can't believe what US gov is saying how can we lead? https://t.co/NoYdc2a0JZ

— Ben Rhodes (@brhodes) March 7, 2017

This is a tweet that Rhodes really should regret, but I’m fairly certain he possesses no capacity for shame or self-awareness.

Indeed. Where do we draw the red line? https://t.co/gFJoR6YxwB

— Ruthless T. Firefly (@BecketAdams) March 7, 2017

In old enuf to remember when your old boss said Benghazi was caused by a YouTube video while at the UN.

— Howard Roark Laughed (@Major_Skidmark) March 7, 2017

I'm old enough to remember when Ben Rhodes bragged about lying to Congress and the Media about Obama's Iran deal.

— Tennessean (@Mountainaires) March 7, 2017

Do you like your doctor Ben?

— Susan Bell (@susiecoyote) March 7, 2017

Maybe, just maybe, the guy that wrote and pushed the Iran Deal would care to explain this?

NOW LIVE: The secret backstory of how the Obama administration let Hezbollah off the hook https://t.co/TZN2LVv1Bm pic.twitter.com/wrBkSXVpjA

— POLITICO (@politico) December 17, 2017

For eight years, a top-secret DEA facility in Chantilly, Virginia, was the hub of a global investigation that used wiretaps, undercover operations and informants to map Hezbollah’s illicit networks of drug traffickers and other criminal enterprises. https://t.co/TZN2LVv1Bm pic.twitter.com/9fl7ll5LZs

— POLITICO (@politico) December 17, 2017

But Obama administration officials, in their determination to achieve an Iran nuclear deal, undermined the efforts of #projectcassandra https://t.co/TZN2LVv1Bm pic.twitter.com/4wjIGr7JqO

— POLITICO (@politico) December 17, 2017

Nope.

There is boundless irony and hypocrisy in how much people who love to sneer at "echo chambers" live entirely inside a perpetual right wing echo chamber of non-fact based anti Iran Deal propaganda. https://t.co/mMw1Zk4Ckv

— Ben Rhodes (@brhodes) December 20, 2017

He just called Politico “right-wing.” I don’t think he’s familiar with the national media if that’s the angle he wants to play.

He can't do it because the report's true.

— neontaster (@neontaster) December 20, 2017

Maybe Rhodes should sit down and shut up until he can explain himself.

So there you go – five tweets that did not age well in 2017. Got any others that you remember? Share them in the comments!
