@marcorubio There are nearly 2000 fucking kids who were taken from their fucking parents by the fucking government that you fucking work for, most of whom haven’t been fucking returned. And you’re going to make a fucking word the fucking thing you make noise about? Are you fucking serious?

Step back for a second and take this in: A TV network, paid for with advertiser dollars and subscriber fees, is telling people to stock up on guns and prepare for “civil war” after someone was arrested for doing just that. This is so incredibly dangerous. https://t.co/E0RlRtsUIH

Matt here. I bring this up often but today, it takes on even more significance. This is a death threat to my teenage son from the Breitbart comment section listing the name, address and number of our synagogue. I asked @joelpollak for days to take it down. They waited for five. https://t.co/nx3rWpsw98

The fact that we’re still even talking about @facebook allowing outright lies in paid ads THREE YEARS after they allowed Cambridge Analytica to take user data and Russians to place targeted election ads is laughable. How many times do we have to litigate this? https://t.co/KUxWlUGDIV

This is going to end the same way it has ended for the Nazis at Charlottesville. She’ll likely deny she’s a racist, lose her job, be shunned by her community then be suddenly contrite. It’s like these numbnuts are in some fever dream where they think there’s no price to pay. https://t.co/gaT1SrwZG1

@DineshDSouza Imagine being such a bottomless well of self-loathing and attention-seeking that you’re willing to slag a civil rights hero over a speech about racism when all you’ve done with your life is sell poorly written conspiracy books and get sentenced for fraud.

Here are anti-Semitic comments about me and calls for attacks listing our address on The Daily Caller. These, too, were reported and they waited for 5 days to take them down, ensuring that I, and my family, would be subjected to maximum harassment or violence against us. https://t.co/rXgBj9edOi

Breitbart, where the above comments surfaced, was just listed by @Facebook and @campbell_brown as a “trusted news source”. The Daily Caller, where our address was listed to make us “pay” is monetized by @GoogleAds.

@slpng_giants @marcorubio Every fucking word of this. Btw, has anyone fucking mentioned that Flint still doesn't fucking have fucking clean water? Puerto Rico still doesn't fucking have power and it's fucking hurricane season again! Are you fucking kidding me Marco? Do your fucking job or fucking quit.

Who is going to step up and say enough is enough? Who is responsible for the programming at Fox? Is anyone watching the switch? Words matter. Journalists and politicians have already been targeted. What is going to be the line here? This isn’t a fucking game.
pablo_alejandro (@pablo_alejandro)
But here’s the thing: If you regularly publish articles, tweets and podcasts that vilify people of color, women, the LGBTQ community, Muslims, immigrants and other minority groups, you are trafficking in the same bullshit that causes anti-Semitism. Hate is hate. https://t.co/OVxYjs5zX8
daejeong (@daejeong)
How can that be, you ask? Breitbart is run by Jews! Ben Shapiro, who is Jewish, used to work there! That doesn’t make sense! How would they inspire anti-Semitic death threats? It didn’t make sense to me, either. We share a religion, after all. And we all seem to care about it. https://t.co/CbXlb03FBk
bracing (@bracing)
@benshapiro Maybe you should look at the FACTS, that all of these racist extremists keep name checking you, rather than expressing your FEELINGS, that you’re angry that someone is reporting on it. Wait...someone has a pinned tweet about this. Hold on. We’ll think of it.
sherisbear (@sherisbear)
So perhaps Ben Shapiro should do some soul searching and, instead of blaming outlets for reporting on the fact that these racist idiots keep name-checking him, he should ask himself why they keep doing it and, perhaps, tone down the hateful rhetoric.

Matt here again. As we are blocked by @joelpollak, can everyone please remind him on this tweet that he was asked for five days to remove this death threat to my son on the Breitbart comment section listing the name, address and phone number of our synagogue while he did nothing? https://t.co/d3OXz6ICtZ

Are you kidding, @cnn? Are you really booking fucking neo-Nazis on your network, giving his ideas a massive platform? How is this even a thing? @jaketapper, you’ve been rightly outspoken about anti-Semitism. How can this be on the same network? What an awful decision. https://t.co/1eoVIT84So

Quick story: When Daily Caller outed me last summer, my family and I received a TON of anti-Semitic comments & death threats on the Breitbart comment section. One was to my son at our synagogue. I reported this to the site multiple times and they purposely ignored it for 5 days. https://t.co/nThNO4QWaN
JeremyOkelley (@JeremyOkelley)
Anti-Semitism has always been with us, but it has never been legitimized, amplified and monetized the way it is today. There are a lot of places to lay blame for its rise, but you can lay at least some at the feet of these outlets and the social media companies that enable them
tontonlove (@tontonlove)
This doesn’t happen on its own. Advertising networks like @GoogleAds are helping monetize bigotry on sites like Breitbart and The Daily Caller. Social networks like @Facebook and @youtube continue to provide a massive platform for extremists. They provide the oxygen. https://t.co/czIJOAELoW

@joelpollak @IlhanMN What’s your excuse for leaving this anti-Semitic death threat against my son on your comment section when you knew about it for five days, Joel? Don’t remember an apology, either. Why won’t you respond? https://t.co/wTWNuKezqt
spiritwolf50 (@spiritwolf50)
@joelpollak @Ilhan @IlhanMN You know what else takes chutzpah, Joel? You breathlessly tweeting about anti-Semitism after leaving an anti-Semitic death threat to my son at our synagogue up on your website’s comment section for 5 days after you knew. That’s called chutzpah. https://t.co/A12f3fD9v0
kat_blaque (@kat_blaque)
Looking at these comments on sites viewed by @google and @Facebook as mainstream, you can understand how yesterday’s attacks could easily happen to us. This is not a beef on Twitter. This is real life and death stuff.
