A leftist podcaster who writes for the Guardian has tweeted his desire to physically attack a Conservative MP in front of his children.

Andy Dawson, who writes for major left-wing newspapers the Guardian and the Mirror and also co-hosts a podcast called Athletico Mince, was responding to a tweet by Sarah Vine, wife of Michael Gove MP.

“As someone who has been followed and insulted in the street in front of my own children, I would say that this is a classic example of what happens when a Twitter mob spills into real life. Terrifying and disproportionate,” tweeted Vine.

She was responding to video footage of Dominic Cummings being harassed by his own neighbors in response to a controversy where critics claimed Cummings, an advisor to Boris Johnson, violated lockdown to travel north in search of urgent care for his child.

Dawson chose to express his anger over seeing Gove defend Cummings on television by threatening to viciously attack Gove and have his children witness their father being beaten up.

Verified leftist Andy Dawson, a writer for the Guardian and the Daily Mirror, not only advocates for political violence (ie terrorism) against a sitting cabinet minister, he's willing to finance it as well.

“Hey you – I see your cunt of a husband is lying through his fucking teeth all over the TV this morning,” tweeted Dawson. “I’d pay hard cash to chase the fucker down the street and boot him in the balls, and DEFINITELY in front of your kids cuz they need to know what a rank shithouse their dad is,” he added.

Dawson locked down his Twitter account soon after he started receiving backlash for the tweet.

“Verified leftist Andy Dawson, a writer for the Guardian and the Daily Mirror, not only advocates for political violence (ie terrorism) against a sitting cabinet minister, he’s willing to finance it as well. Exactly what democracy is left in the UK?” asked Breitbart’s Chris Tomlinson.

The “so much for the tolerant left” cliché has been a meme for years, but this once again underscores how the same people who continually whine about abuse, harassment and hate are in fact the most hateful people in politics.

It also highlights the two tier system operated by social media giants like Twitter, which routinely bans conservatives for their opinions yet allows clear threats of violence, even against elected members of Parliament, to go unpunished.

Suffice to say, Dawson’s verified account remains very much active.

However, he isn’t receiving much back up, with even leftists surprised by his vicious outburst.

Was a big fan of this podcast, but not gonna be listening to it again, not while Andy Dawson is still there. His childish outburst against Sarah Vine has put me off the idea of supporting him in any way. I don't like the tories either, you don't have to be cruel about it. 🙁

@Spotify Dear Spotify, you currently host a podcast run by the above individual Andy Dawson under Athletico Mince. Due to the threat of violence in front of children made in the above post I believe you should review his ability to promote such hate speak to a wider audience.

Andy Dawson (Guardian and Daily Mirror contributor among other things) sent this message about Michael Gove to his wife Sarah Vine.

Shocking vitriol and possibly illegal under the Malicious Communications Act.

The disappointing thing is that at least 775 people liked it. pic.twitter.com/NbW8ddh8du

Donald Trump to Counter-Program Second GOP Debate by Appearing with Striking Auto Workers in Detroit

The GOP frontrunner will deliver a “prime-time speech before current and former union members.

Former President Donald Trump will appear with striking union members of the United Auto Workers (UAW) in Detroit, Michigan, as his opponents squabble for the spotlight on the debate stage on September 27, according to a report that multiple sources have confirmed to Breitbart News.

The New York Times first reported on Trump’s forthcoming appearance with Detroit auto workers striking against the big three automakers — General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis — which will serve as counter-programming to the GOP debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California.

The GOP frontrunner will deliver a “prime-time speech before current and former union members,” according to the Times, as they strike for higher wages following 40-year-high inflation and seek commitments from automakers and the federal government that Biden’s electrical vehicle agenda will not threaten their jobs or pay, as Breitbart News has documented.

Multiple Trump aides have confirmed the 45th president’s plans to Breitbart News.

Trump, who regularly takes a majority of support in independent national GOP primary polls, is keeping with the strategy his campaign employed in the first debate when he skipped the event and instead joined Tucker Carlson for a one-on-one 45-minute interview on the host’s eponymously-named show, Tucker on Twitter.

After battling the counter-programming, which was released at the start of the first GOP debate on August 23 and instantly went viral, debate storylines quickly fell to the wayside when Trump surrendered in Fulton County, Georgia, on his fourth indictment a day later. The arrest produced the now-iconic mugshot of Trump, the first-ever mugshot of a former president of the United States.

Trump’s latest plans further signal his focus on a potential general election rematch with President Joe Biden rather than the Republican primary, as union workers who were long the foundation of the Democrat coalition were pivotal in helping elect him to office in 2016, as Breitbart News’s John Binder emphasized on Saturday:

In 2016, union workers helped propel Trump and his nationalist-populist agenda to the White House — scoring the most support among union households for any Republican presidential candidate since former President Ronald Reagan in 1984.
In 2020, Biden helped widen that gap by taking 57 percent of union households compared to Trump’s 40 percent. Trump could significantly increase his share of union households in a rematch against Biden by registering to vote millions of non-college-educated whites in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania who remain disenfranchised.

Binder’s report highlighted that the Detroit Free Press first revealed that Trump was weighing a visit to Michigan to meet with UAW members striking against the Big Three automakers.
