ESPN insider Adrian Wojnarowski is known for his “Woj Bombs,” but this past weekend he sent a two-word response to Republican Senator Josh Hawley that has rocked the Twitterverse.
Don’t criticize #China or express support for law enforcement to @espn. It makes them real mad @Outkick pic.twitter.com/WJDxrotUBD

Woj was suspended without pay by ESPN for the f-bomb. ESPN posted a press release response. Adrian Wojnarowski tweeted out an apology acknowledging he would be personally reaching out to the Missouri senator.

At least one political candidate is accusing Hawley of violating Senate rules.

Senator Hawley violated Senate rules when he blasted a @wojespn's email on his campaign Twitter account.
He did it to silence his own constituents--a display of muscle that if he can end Woj's job, he can end yours too. #FreeWoj
