[Update, 12:04 am Eastern Thursday: Added another profanity-laced attack on Twitter from Richardson]

Philip B. Richardson, a writer for the New York Times, unleashed his rage at Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush in a Wednesday post on Twitter: "F**k you Jeb Bush for telling poor people they need stronger families to not be poor.

Richardson subsequently deleted the Tweet, but not after it was noticed by several conservatives on the social media site, including the Washington Examiner's Tim Carney, who took a screen cap of the profanity-tinged blast at Bush.

This isn't the first time that Richardson has revealed his left-wing politics on his Twitter account. On October 11, 2015, the New York Times writer boosted the vulgar "Cocks Not Glocks" campaign involving a sex toy protest in favor of gun control at University of Texas-Austin:

According to his LinkedIn account, Richardson worked for two LGBT activist groups before starting as a news assistant at the NY Times in 2012: Lambda Legal in 2009 and Empire State Pride Agenda in 2011.
