Yesterday I broke the news that the guy who made Trump's CNN gif also created an antisemitic meme and was obviously racist. 2/

In the wake of that, I received numerous threats. I was told people wanted to shoot, strangle me, hang me, throw me out of a helicopter 3/

Some assumed I was Jewish because I spoke out against antisemitism, others said I was a race-traitor. Got it on both sides. 4/

Now articles are showing up on Neo-Nazi websites, there are videos spliced with Goebbels telling me not to test his patience 5/

That one also has footage from Natural Born Killers of a journalist being executed by shotgun. 6/

On forums, under my tweets, there's a list of excerpts from newspaper articles about journalists being slaughter, the details gory. 7/

Meanwhile, people are claiming I'm making up the threats and then immediately threatening me. In the same message. 8/

Over on Facebook I'm getting messages from strangers about "goyim" and talking about what happened to Jews in the 40's. 9/

This environment is the creation of the man in the White House. There are valid criticisms of the media, many on point, this isn't that 10/

When you start calling a group of people enemies of the country, this is what happens. When you call them scum, this happens. 11/

This is what happens when you have Alex Jones calling mainstream media pedophiles and Satan worshippers, and threatening to crush them. 12/

This environment we have right now is volatile. Some of these threats are empty, but people who are unwell consume this stuff. 13/

Even as I'm typing this I'm getting antisemitic memes and messages. It's happening in realtime. 14/

And everyone keeps bringing up the shooting in Virginia. In a way, they're right. That's what happens in this environment. 15/

This shouldn't be a country where these violent instincts are cultivated and encouraged. We're at a real tipping point right now. 16/

But make no mistake, there's something growing in this country, and it is very, very ugly. 17/17

I'm a supporter of you, been following since you were going to candidate Trump's rallies. Documenting/posting these threats/hate wld help.

I'm not saying I don't believe you. But in an age where the buzzword is "Lying Media", let's give them all the proof we can.

A thread of all the hate you've recieved would go a lot further than a thread of you describing it to us.

Sorry, you don't retweet that shit, ever. I believe it happened since half a dozen other reporters have said the same happened to them.

Like the holocaust-we can't bury it & must show it. Show the hate to the world so it can be remembered!

Yeah, that works on normal people who can feel shame. These people have been told they don't need to be ashamed, can do as they like.

I don't think the goal has anything to do with them - it's to show others how bad this is. They're unredeemable & unimportant.

showing the hate encourages the trolls to one up each other.Escalation is bad McKay
