The Heritage Foundation’s Daily Signal apparently has a loosey goosey outlook on Twitter background photographs. So much so that one of their newest hires, the right-leaning Ben Smith, has a horse’s penis practically sitting on his shoulder in his Twitter pic.
While I don’t believe there should be Nazi guidelines on personal pictures, might he have sponged out the animal’s love whistle?
But it’s sentimental. The photograph comes from the late President Ronald Reagan‘s farm, so he apparently didn’t want to touch a thing.
Come on now, aren’t there exceptions?
Full disclosure: Smith was a likable fall intern for The Daily Caller.
As some may recall, Smith has had to deal with in terms of sharing a name with journalism’s other Ben Smith, the left-leaning editor-in-chief of BuzzFeed News. Read more about him and his mother’s ultrasound here.
UPDATE: Mere minutes after this post, the reporter has taken down the horse penis photo.
