Daily Caller's Betsy Rothstein Mentions Montel Williams' Earrings on Twitter. Storm Ensues.

Marine Corps veteran and long-time TV host Montel Williams went on Fox News yesterday to passionately discuss veteran's issues. His appearance prompted a series of Tweets from former FishbowlDC editor Betsy Rothstein, now editor of The Daily Caller's Mirror. A few of those 140 characters were reserved for a mention of Montel's earrings. Guess what happened next? FNC has @Montel_Williams on. He's very fiery, angry about veterans issues. Nice earrings MW. Looks like he's going to leap across the table. — Betsy Rothstein (@betsyscribeindc) June 16, 2014 Thankfully @Montel_Williams didn't forget to announce his Twitter handle on FNC! I like when he looks RIGHT into the camera. Very effective. — Betsy Rothstein (@betsyscribeindc) June 16, 2014 Clearly @DailyCaller @betsyscribeindc @TuckerCarlson need to hear from some #veterans about whether my ear ring really matters #vasurge — Montel Williams (@Montel_Williams) June 17, 2014 #vasurge @VoiceOfWarriors i think @betsyscribeindc @DailyCaller need dose of reality. 22 vets a day dying and Betsy talks about my ear ring? — Montel Williams (@Montel_Williams) June 17, 2014 Veteran Josh Wallace also took to Twitter, encouraging Rothstein to #sitdown and saying that it seems Williams cares more about veterans than her. A Tweet Williams re-Tweeted. @betsyscribeindc why do you seem so dead set on making @Montel_Williams look bad? He seems to care more about veterans than you. #sitdown — Josh Wallace (@The_Only_JDub) June 17, 2014 Williams went on to say that The Daily Caller needed a dose of reality and that he's pleased to respond to questions posed by reporters who aren't a "gossip blogger." The Daily Caller piece: Furious Veteran Montel Williams DONE Dealing With VA: ‘We Need To Shut This Organization Down’ @betsyscribeindc and when an actual reporter asks that question, will be pleased to respond. You are a gossip blogger. — Montel Williams (@Montel_Williams) June 17, 2014 Not surprisingly, no where in Rothstein's Twitter commentary does she mention her personal stance on veterans issues. And let's get the facts right. My only issue with @Montel_Williams is his condescending bs toward media. No issue w his cause. — Betsy Rothstein (@betsyscribeindc) June 17, 2014 FishbowlDC reached out to Rothstein to find out what's next after Montel Williams himself followed her on Twitter. She said, "After Montel Williams following me on Twitter, life can only go down from here. There is no greater height than having such a 'famous' person with fantastic bling following me. And yes, huge eye roll as I write this. On a more serious note, Montel is lying and saying I am anti-veteran. That is bullshit and couldn't be further from the truth. My complaint with him begins and ends with his complaining that The Daily Caller had somehow distorted his stance when he went on TV and furiously blasted President Obama and then tried to deem that not political." Thanks for following me @Montel_Williams. Means a lot. — Betsy Rothstein (@betsyscribeindc) June 17, 2014 Click on over to Twitter (@betsyscribeindc and @Montel_Williams) for the full back and forth and take a look at Williams' 10 minute appearance on Fox News below. BTW - Great earrings MW! Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com
