Libs of TikTok had roughly <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20220419033819\/https:\/\/twitter.com\/libsoftiktok\">642k followers<\/a> the morning Lorenz\u2019s hit piece was published, and is now less than 40k followers short of one million.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout her \u201cresearch,\u201d Lorenz visited various family members of \u201cLibs of TikTok,\u201d and described her article as being intended to \u201cexpose\u201d her in an email requesting comment from Christina Pushaw (Gov. Ron DeSantis\u2019 press secretary who commonly shares Libs of TikTok posts). Lorenz gave Pushaw a one hour deadline to provide a comment at 8pm, presumably in hopes that she wouldn\u2019t get one in time so she could write that the office of DeSantis \u201crefused to provide a comment\u201d for her hit piece.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Oh wow\u2026 Taylor Lorenz told Brian Stelter that she regrets cold-emailing me to boast about how excited she was to \u201cexpose <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/libsoftiktok?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@libsoftiktok<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Okay. <\/p>\n<p>But I don\u2019t understand how I was \u201cmisrepresentative\u201d?

In addition to sharing Libs of TikTok\u2019s name, employer, and religious affiliation, the original version of her article linked to her real estate license, which included a possible physical address.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The WaPo article by Taylor Lorenz originally linked to the real estate license for the person behind the Libs of TikTok account\u2014 the link listed the person\u2019s name, real estate license number, possible physical address, etc. WaPo only removed the link after being called out on it.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Jerry Dunleavy (@JerryDunleavy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JerryDunleavy\/status\/1516420428574646289?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 19, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The creator of Libs of TikTok has received harassment since Lorenz\u2019s story \u2013 as have people sharing the same name. Lorenz has only directed her followers not to harass the incorrect people sharing her name \u2013 but not Libs of TikTok herself. Her only real concern seems to be the mob attacking the wrong target.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Further showcasing an absolute lack of self-awareness, Lorenz, who auto-deletes her tweets and has gotten the Wayback Machine\/Internet Archive to exclude her Twitter feed from being archived there, also criticized Libs of TikTok for deleting old tweets ahead of the Washington Post publishing their story during her interview with Stelter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Matt Palumbo is the author of\u00a0<i data-stringify-type=\"italic\"><a class=\"c-link\" tabindex=\"-1\" href=\"https:\/\/posthillpress.com\/book\/man-behind-the-curtain-inside-the-secret-network-of-george-soros\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-stringify-link=\"https:\/\/posthillpress.com\/book\/man-behind-the-curtain-inside-the-secret-network-of-george-soros\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\" data-remove-tab-index=\"true\">The Man Behind the Curtain: Inside the Secret Network of George Soros<\/a><\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Don\u2019t miss the Dan Bongino Show<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A cancellation attempt from hack Washington Post reporter (redundant, I know) Taylor Lorenz has resulted in her intended target garnering more social media followers in a week than she\u2019s garnered<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":498,"featured_media":1897669,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1452694","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_finder_url":"https:\/\/bongino.com\/libs-of-tik-tok-gains-300k-followers-since-doxxing-from-hack-journo-taylor-lorenz\/","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1452694","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/498"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1452694"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1452694\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1897669"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1452694"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1452694"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1452694"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
