Daily Beast Editor Apologizes For Tweeting 'F*** You' At Rand Paul

TPM reports:

Justin Miller, a senior editor at the Daily Beast, apologized on Tuesday for tweeting "fuck you" to Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY).

"Today I am getting my booster vaccine," Paul tweeted Tuesday afternoon. "Wonder how the liberal media will misreport this."

"Fuck you," Miller shot back.

A spokesperson for Paul told Politico that the remark was "completely unacceptable for a journalist to be tweeting these type of comments."

Miller later apologized in an email to the site.

“I replied from my personal account to what I felt was spin after Senator Paul said factually incorrect things about vaccines," he said. "It would’ve been better to respond with facts than an obscenity, and I deleted the tweet so it wouldn’t reflect on the Beast. I’m sorry for the insult.”
