There’s been a lot of talk about far-left protests set to take place across the country on November 4. On Monday, the Gateway Pundit’s Lucian Wintrich said a person thought to be one of the leaders of the domestic terrorist group Antifa, issued a tweet that read, “can’t wait for November 4th when millions of antifa supersoldiers will behead all white parents and small business owners in the town square.”
The tweet, initially posted Monday morning, has been deleted but can still be seen here.
Wintrich added: “Adding to the open display of anti-white racism and coupled with violence against small business owners (for whatever reason), the top-rated reply doubled down…”
Twitchy called the post “odd,” and noted:
Hey, we get it. When you’re writing ‘news’ you want to get people’s attention, otherwise, why bother, right? And every once in awhile we’ll even write something a little silly (that’s what we do, after all) BUT sometimes we come across something that’s even too silly for us.
Twitchy further said the story “very well could be true HOWEVER, we have our doubts because @HashtagGriswold did a teensy bit of investigative reporting.”
Wintrich later added:
Multiple far left radicals have taken to Twitter and various blogs to claim this initial tweet was a “joke.” As written to MIC, Twitter user Tom Bloke is not only a thought leader of the far left; people on the far left who push certain ideologies or, in this case, the normalization of anti-white violence/rhetoric under the guise of “humor”. Among his followers and the people who retweet “Tom Bloke” are far left Teen Vogue writer Lauren Duca and Colin Taylor, the managing editor of Occupy Democrats, among many others.
These are people who think remarks such as “can’t wait [to] behead all white parents” are not only funny but that nobody should take offense to this normalization of violence against white people.
Imagine for a second if I, or any other conservative with a public voice, tweeted out a “joke” about how we should “behead all black parents” – how do you think that would play out?
Seeing as ANTIFA is labeled as a domestic terrorist group by the FBI and Homeland Security, and seeing as Bloke has a far left Twitter audience that includes many members of ANTIFA, this Tweet cannot be simply taken as a light-hearted “joke”.
