Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin mocked for admitting she cried ’15 to 20 times’ watching DNC

The self-proclaimed “conservative opinion writer” of the Post is now facing mockery for her admission, with many conservative pundits on social media expressing their disbelief at her claim.

Rubin made the admission when CNN contributor Amanda Carpenter asked her audience to reveal how many times the programming made them cry.

The Herald Sun’s Rita Panahi tweeted: “Umm don’t you mean Washington Post’s *conservative* columnist cried 15 to 20 times.”

“What a joke” tweeted the Students for Trump account.

“I also cried 15, 20 times, likely for different reasons,” tweeted Daily Caller’s Lindsay Wigo.

“That means you need to see a psychiatrist,” remarked Robby Starbuck.

“I deadass did not cry that many times for my own father dying and I’m not sure what that says about me or her,” wrote Christine Rousselle. “For fairness sake, I identify as Irish Catholic and as I’m sure you know we don’t really ‘do’ emotion.”

Most Americans did not appear to share Rubin’s enthusiasm for the event. The Hill reports that while Democratic candidate for President Joe Biden drew the best ratings of the online convention, ratings were below Hillary Clinton’s speech in 2016, and 38% lower than Donald Trump’s acceptance speech.
