Reza Aslan refused to apologize after calling for the “eradication” of Kellyanne Conway and Trump Supporters, with Twitter saying his rhetoric didn’t violate their rules.
Following the mass shooting in El Paso, Aslan, a former CNN host, tweeted, “After today there is no longer any room for nuance. The President is a white nationalist terror leader. His supporters – ALL OF THEM – are by definition white nationalist terror supporters. The MAGA hat is a KKK hood. And this evil, racist scourge must be eradicated from society.”
After today there is no longer any room for nuance. The President is a white nationalist terror leader. His supporters – ALL OF THEM – are by definition white nationalist terror supporters. The MAGA hat is a KKK hood. And this evil, racist scourge must be eradicated from society.
After people reported the tweets, Twitter said that they didn’t violate the site’s rules.
Despite being ‘ratioed’ numerous times, Aslan refused to apologize for his language and subsequently doubled down.
The President is a violent hate leader who daily promotes terrorism against Americans who look like me and my children, so if you’re someone who thinks I should “watch my language” in responding to this racist pig you can go fuck yourself too.
What’s particularly disturbing about the first tweet is that if you replaced Trump supporters with hispanics as the target, it could have been lifted straight from the shooter’s manifesto.
Aslan’s incendiary rhetoric is only going to fuel more extremism and tit for tat violence that will radicalize people like the Dayton, Ohio mass shooter who was a fringe left-wing radical.
One of the protesters apologizes to the man, but then another one confronts him and basically argues that he deserved it because of his hat, remarking, “That shit is disrespectful.”
Elizabeth Landers, the woman who was conducting the interview, commented on the incident via Twitter.
“I interview a lot of the President’s supporters at rallies & have never seen this before. (My reaction gives that away quickly),” she said.
Meanwhile, the volume of material for Trump’s 2020 campaign videos grows by the day.

At one of his trademark rallies Thursday, President Trump tore into the Biden family, charging that Joe Biden was only considered a good Vice President because he was a complete kiss-ass.
Appearing in Minneapolis, Trump first targeted Hunter Biden, asking “Where the hell is he? Where’s Hunter?”
“I have a new idea for a T-shirt. I love the cops, but let’s do another T-shirt: Where’s Hunter?” Trump added.
The President cited reports concerning the younger Biden’s alleged pay offs by a Ukrainian gas company and by the Chinese.
Turning his attention to Joe Biden, Trump ranted “And your father was never considered smart. He was never considered a good senator. He was only a good vice president because he understood how to kiss Barack Obama’s ass!”
As the audience exploded into rapturous applause and laughter, Trump bellowed “It’s true.”
The President then pointed out the press corps and declared “They are always saying the same thing. President Trump made a totally unsubstantiated claim about Hunter Biden and his father. It’s not unsubstantiated, you crooked sun of a guns. It’s 100% true.”
Elsewhere during the rally, Trump targeted Rep. Ilhan Omar, and questioned Minnesotans reasoning for voting her in office.
“I know the people of Minnesota. I want to tell you, and I also at the same time, it’s both a question and a statement, how the hell did that ever happen!?” Trump said, referring to Omars election. “How did it happen?” he repeated.
He added, “How do you have such a person representing you in Minnesota?” adding “I’m very angry at you people right now.”
Calling Omar a “American-hating socialist,” Trump said “She is a disgrace to our country, and she is one of the big reasons why I’m going to win and the Republican party is going to win Minnesota in 13 months.”
Elizabeth Warren’s “climate justice” plan calls for handing over $1 trillion in environmental reparations to black families.
Because in case you didn’t know – pollution is racist.
The plan, called Fighting For Justice As We Combat The Climate Crisis, asserts that “black families are more likely to live in neighborhoods with higher concentrations of air pollution than white families – even when they have the same or more income.”
The plan doesn’t address why, if they have the same income, the black families don’t just move, but does claim that studies show “whites largely cause air pollution” (surely this is due to demographics alone) and that “Blacks and Latinxs are more likely to breathe it in.”
The plan also claims that black people are hit harder by extreme weather events like hurricanes, floods and even fire.
According to Warren, “environmental racism” is “the result of decades of discrimination” and has “been overlooked for too long.”
To solve the apparent racism of air pollution, Warren is vowing to commit one third of her climate investment fund to “funnel at least $1 trillion into these areas.”
Sounds like a perfectly responsible use of money that won’t be wasted at all.
