The NYT Styles account noted the change later Tuesday afternoon and re-wrote the post with this verbiage instead: "The Closer: Michelle Obama." A parenthetical thought read, "deleted earlier tweets for language that some found offensive."

Soon after the post with the "angry black woman caricature" went up, responses to the Styles tweet flooded Twitter.
