The Washington Post received criticism for a headline published about Attorney General Merrick Garland.
Users on Twitter took to the platform to blast the outlet for publishing an article with the headline, “Garland vowed to depoliticize Justice. Then the FBI searched Mar-a-Lago.”
The headline sparked several reactions on Twitter.
One user wrote, “Washington Post, reporting in February: Hey, Trump stole a bunch of classified documents and brought them to Mar-a-lago.”
The tweet continued, “Washington Post, ‘reporting’ in August: OMG THIS IS SO POLITICIZED. OUR SWEET BABY BOY, DON TRUMP HAS BEEN WRONGED. HOW DARE YOU, Merrick Garland!”

Another user tweeted, “This is a deeply irresponsible and misleading headline. Garland is not responsible for Trumpists’ histrionics and their perpetual persecution complex—wholly unmoored from reality—is not DOJ politicization.”
One user argued, “The fact that the target of a search warrant is a former elected official doesn’t mean that DOJ has been ‘politicized.’ They’ve charged former elected officials every month since DOJ’s inception.”
