How can he get away with saying something like this…
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.”

He followed it up by later using the same language against Kellyanne Conway, tweeting, “You are “the depraved evil” we need to eradicate.”

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.

Enough violence. And people wonder where it starts. CNN is totally ANTI-AMERICAN and should off the air.
Sam
Hey, that sounds good to me! Shut the fake news CNN down as far as I’m concerned!
dick
Its no wonder that CNN viewership is dropping like a rock. When you have reporters like Resa Asion, Anderson Cooker and Don Lemon this station is doomed to be out of business soon. I’m sure their adds must be really cheap. I think that Zucker allows this kind of personal is because he thinks this kind of shock value must sell tv time. Between Reza and the two queers this station is in panic mode. I heard that Anderson said that Lemon had the nicest chin he ever set a pair of balls on.
Larry Murray
So the man with all the fucking mouth when and where would you like to meet this nigger that backs this President.
Paul Lamothe
Reza your a Piece of Shit and should be arrested for inciting violence !
David MacKAY
What is the difference between Aslan’s rhetoric and a Nazi wanting extermination of the Jews?
None, no difference.
Jesse
This man needs to be arrested by the FBI for calling for violence against government political agents and for violence against Republican voters. I’m telling you to vote Republican in 2020 or lose your freedom and your country. Just look at what these crazy leftist loons are doing to our country and what they’re calling for against anyone who voted for Trump. Get woke folks but woke to the devastation and destruction wrought by the Democrats.
Greg
Reza. You may not have violated your double standard protections as a mouthy leftist moron, but you most certainly signed on as a accessory to any harm that may befall anyone you so publicly called out. I would most assuredly be among those who would advocate your vigorous prosecution, should Ms. Conway so much as break a nail. You are an idiot, you are dangerous, and it might be advisable that YOU keep any eye out over YOUR shoulder.
NavyPO2
Reva, I would realy enjoy giving you a taste of Knuckle Yumee!
Jesse
What happened to my comment? Was it too conservative for you? You will be held responsible for the violence in our country.
Gloria
I GUESS MINE WAS TO TRUTHFUL FOR YOU TO USE. AFRAID THE TRUTH WILL GET TO THE DUMB FOOLS THAT THE LEFTISTS.
radone
Since you just threatened a Trump advisor you should be arrested you pos. We all know, Ametica knows the only racists are Democrats after all they created the KJK and now they support Antifs and all of America knows this and this is why you will lose in 220. You have no one who can beat Trump because we are the truth and we have God on our side the side of life not murder of infants and babies
Bob Trahan
Oh hell he will say it’s Trump that’s responsible in making him say those words.
Art Crosby
The Left And Minorities are teflon-Untouchable!Anything Trump,A conservative or a White male says,will be Twisted into Something RACIST. They will turn ANYTHING and Everything into being something Racist,Yet,A Minority or a leftwinger can Actually Say something Racist And Not a Word is said about it.And if it*s a Miority saying it,It*s Encouraged!! Some Nut commits a mass killing,Then All you hear about is the Evil White Boogy men 24 -7. Minorities and Mainly Black males are committing Mass killing*s Every Day! Add up Every shooting in Every City in the country Just ONE weekend,And the Numbers Would be Staggering!! But the Media would Never utter a PEEP about the Violence BLACK males do!! Semper Fi

NIce really nice language and we are supposed to listen to you an d your filthy mouth.,. hah.. think not bro.. .,.. you just open the door for more hate… but your hate filled comments are okay right??? surrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre…
The Truth Will Set You Free!
To Asian:
Following the mass shooting in El Paso, Aslan, you are the real terrorist, “After today there is no longer any room for nuance. You are the true evil, racist scourge and must be eradicated from society.” If you don’t like America just renounce your citizenship and leave. It is that simple. Quit trying to take over God’s founding country the U.S.A..
P.S. How much did you pay these deranged mass shooters to advance your socialist agenda?
Gloria
THE LAMESTREAM MEDIA SHOULD LOOK IN THE MIRROR IF THEY WANT TO SEE THE ONES THAT CAUSE MORE CHAOS, RACISM, HATE AND DEMOCRAPIC PROPAGANDA THAN ANY OTHER FORCE OF HATEMONGERING. THAT IS THE CRAP THOSE NUTJOBS LOOK AT THAT FORMS THEIR ATTITUDE.
John T Koszalka
How sad that this hate monger is allowed to make death threats against all President Trump supporters. He uses the word eradicate —– Hitler, Himmler, Goebbels and their ilk made similar threats to an entire group of people. It’s time to charge this creature with terrorist threats.
Diane
Someone with this much hate and making public statements like this must be red flagged and investigated by authorities.
NavyPO
It’s obviously time to re-open the insane asylums!
Richard Hullfish Sr.
It’s time for the criminal justice system to put their foot down and kick some ass instead of sitting on their ass like a bunch of pussy’s. APPLY THE LAW YOU FOOLS.
TK
I’m thinking this guy needs a serious visit from the Feds. This is utterly unacceptable and no one should condone it! These are the types of guys that seem to lead missions of mass destruction. This type of rhetoric needs to be held accountable and prosecuted.
Ursula Raymondo
God help us…these people are a more evil than any of us realize.
O Olon
Make sure the FBI is aware of this threat of horrific violence and they must press charges against this big mouth idiotic racist leftist. Put him in jail where he belongs!
Robert Gagliardi
F___ Y__ Asslan!!!!!!

This Aslan motherfucker is going to get his ass kicked hard. This cocksucker is going down. Little fucking pussy.
Robert Gagliardi
Kelly Anne is too Cute for that jerk!!!!!
Art Crosby
Everyone on here,Contact the FBI and report this walking cesspool and Demand he be investigated!! Semper Fi
Joyce
Your comment is a definition of your character and integrity, you have none. I don’t care what party you are you don’t wish for someone’s demise. You think that saying things like that puts you above others, it iactually puts you below them.. Their is enough hate in this world, we don’t need to add more fuel to that hate. Shame on you!
Estell
Inciting violence is a crime. Why aren’t these left wing nuts behind bars?
