Reporter who covered Elizabeth Warren's now defunct campaign notices her staffers are angry he didn't 'actively support' her quest for the nomination

Elizabeth Warren ended her presidential campaign this week, but it would appear that some of her staffers are carrying some grudges:

Seems like Elizabeth Warren had a lot of ill-tempered scolds on her staff. @teamwarren ? https://t.co/yZWikneKFm

Sure does! Politico’s Alex Thompson spent a good deal of time covering the Warren campaign, and he noted on Twitter today that some who were on Warren’s staff don’t think he did enough to pass along their narratives to readers:

Some Warren campaign staffers don’t have a good understanding of campaign journalism.
Not my job to “actively support the candidate that you were assigned”
It is my job to contact as many ppl as possible rather than just rely on what the campaign wants to give me. pic.twitter.com/GjSDQ4i5ii

Campaign ends and you’re looking for a job and spend your day dunking on one of the reporters who covered you the longest. pic.twitter.com/nxhKOhJcFq

Apparently going after the media is OK with some on the Left as long as they’re the ones doing the slamming.

The fact that they aren't asking to speak to his manager may actually be showing some growth. https://t.co/TIEDsrMgQZ
