New York Times reporter Nikole Hannah-Jones emptied her entire Twitter feed after she posted the personal contact information of a conservative news reporter who asked her for comment about the recent drama surrounding the paper’s editorial board.

The Washington Free Beacon’s Aaron Sibarium, who was writing a story about the NY Times ousting a top reporter for using a racial slur in context on a work trip, went through Hannah-Jones’s old Twitter posts to discover that she had used the exact same slur while quoting someone else. He contacted Hannah-Jones, asking her whether “intent made a difference” in this case.
