Huffington Post Publishes (Then Removes) Article Promoting Death to Trump Voters

LISTEN TO TLR’S LATEST PODCAST:

The Huffington Post is a strange bird; once co-conceived by Andrew Breitbart himself as a bipartisan publication, it now is infamous for legitimizing some of the most radical left-wing rhetoric ever written. Some of the highlights from this award-winning publication’s articles over the years include such gems as “America Could Be Great, But You’ll Be Dead By Then,” and “If You Don’t Vote Democrat This November, Then F*ck You,” among others.

As it turns out, the author responsible for both of those atrocities, “journalist” Chis Cali, wrote another quite recently: “Trump Supporters Deserve to Die More Than I Do.”

Yes, that is correct– The Huffington Post actually published an article with a headline stating that a certain political demographic “deserved to die.”

According to Cassandra Fairbanks:

The ranting blogger asserts that Trump supporters “hate immigrants and blacks and Jews and gays and women and trans people in bathrooms,” and that they “can’t wait to see you deported or dead.” He also claims that Trump supporters “want to call you a ‘n-gger’ to your face and dare you to do something about it.”

While his breathless and hysterical claims are obviously false, in most cases, the author goes on to declare his disdain for people in flyover states who would dare to vote for their own interests. He claims that the people “he knows” who live in “New York, Los Angeles, Miami and San Francisco” are the good people who want to “leave the world a better place than they found it,” and “embrace the differences that make us all human” — ironically praising diversity while fantasizing about the death of those with ideological views that differ from his own.

“So sorry not sorry, but the ones who actually deserve to have a nuke dropped on them first are the ones who voted to get us all into this mess,” Cali wrote, adding that “the world really wouldn’t miss them one itty bitty damn bit.”

Referencing the current rise in overdoses in the small town’s he detests so fully, Cali morbidly writes that “if a bunch of these hypocrites who chanted ‘lock her up’ overdose on Oxy and decimate their Podunk towns, honestly, the human species will be better off without them.”

When questioned by Free Beacon reporter Alex Griswold if the Huffington Post has “any editorial standards at all,” Huffington Post’s Editor in Chief Lydia Polgreen responded saying that they do, and noted that it was “deleted almost immediately after it appeared.”

Well, at least there is that. One wonders, however, how such dreck managed to make it to the published phase in the first place– even for a moment. But Fairbanks unfortunately has more news:

Responding to the backlash he is now facing online, Cali tweeted “racists/bigots bothered by an article that was meant to bother them,” with a laughing emoji. He also tweeted that he stands by his article.

Of course he does.
