WaPo Opens Investigation Into Journalist Over Biden Post

The Washington Post is reportedly taking a deeper look into controversial reporter Taylor Lorenz’s social media post calling President Biden a “war criminal.”

In a screenshot obtained by New York Post’s Jonathan Levine, a masked Lorenz is seen taking a selfie at Wednesday’s White House Creator Economy Conference, with Biden speaking to a group of online influencers behind her.

“War criminal,” the image is captioned with a frowny face. 

Fox News Digital has learned that the post was allegedly made in an Instagram story specifically using the “close friends” feature as indicated by the green star icon, meaning it was not posted publicly and could only have been seen by a select group of Instagram users of her choosing.

Lorenz denied the post’s authenticity, replying to Levine, “You people will fall for any dumba– edit someone makes.”

Levine, however, expressed skepticism of her denial.

“She’s denying it’s real, but she has a long history of lying about things like this — and it came to me from someone reliable. So take it as you will,” Levine wrote on X

Lorenz posted the same photo of herself hours later along with video she had taken from the event, but without the “war criminal” caption for Biden. 

A spokesperson for The Washington Post told Fox News Digital, “We’re aware of the alleged social media post and are looking into it.”

Nancy grew up in the South where her passion for politics first began. After getting her BA in journalism from Ole Miss she became an arts and culture writer for Athens Magazine where she enjoyed reporting on the eclectic music and art scene in Athens, GA.

However, her desire to report on issues and policies impacting everyday Americans won out and she packed her bags for Washington, DC. Now, she splits her time between the Nation’s Capital and Philadelphia where she covers the fast-paced environment of politics, business, and news.
In her off time, you can find Nancy exploring museums or enjoying brunch with friends.

    Well, the caption is correct; he is a war criminal (see Afghanistan pull out!), and his “efforts” to halt Israeli defense reinforce that, while he’s sending support to Iran and Hamas!

    He is a war criminal. He is also almost anything anyone can say about him. He hasn’t a shred of integrity. He is a consummate liar, he is as dishonesty as the day is long, he is a known bigot and he has never held a real job.

    Both O’Biden and Harris are war criminals. Both need to be tried for their crimes against humanity.
