Freelance columnist Cheri Jacobus finds herself in a world of hurt today.
USA Today summarily fired the GOP strategist-turned-talking head after suggesting Trump ally Michael Caputo’s young daughters get shipped to “parties” hosted by a convicted pedophile.
The Wrap has the exclusive:
“Are your daughters ugly like you? Or can Trump use them at the Epstein parties so they can survive when you’re broke, bitter, along and in prison for treason?” said Jacobus in the original tweet from Thursday — which still remains live on Twitter at press time.

Epstein is a reference to Jeffrey Epstein, a disgraced financier and Bill Clinton mega-donor who was convicted in 2008 of soliciting sex from an underage girl and served 13 months in custody.
The barb came as part of a series of back and forths between the Caputo and Jacobus, which swiftly became intensely personal. But Jacobus took it a bit further. In another response, which also remains live, she seemed to suggest that Caputo’s “illegitimate” daughter commit suicide.
your illegitimate daughter contemplating the pavement because her loser dad is a traitor? Keep it up #BadDad

The tweets sparked a swift backlash, particularly in conservative media, with Caputo himself leading the charge and demanding USA Today take action.
