Vox editor suspended for encouraging riots at Donald Trump rallies
The Washington Times ^ | June 3, 2016 | Bradford Richardson

Posted on 06/03/2016 11:30:48 AM PDT by jazusamo

Vox deputy editor Emmett Rensin was suspended by the media site Friday for encouraging people to riot at Donald Trump rallies.

Vox editor-in-chief Ezra Klein said in a statement that Mr. Rensin’s conduct “violated Vox’s standards and Emmett has been suspended as a consequence.”

“We at Vox do not take institutional positions on most questions, and we encourage our writers to debate and disagree,” Mr. Klein said. “But direct encouragement of riots crosses a line between expressing a contrary opinion and directly encouraging dangerous, illegal activity.”

Mr. Rensin posted a series of tweets Thursday night encouraging people to riot at Mr. Trump’s presidential rallies.

You only get fired — or your business destroyed — if you refuse to celebrate, much less accept, homosexual “marriage”.

Ezra Klein was the organizer of JournOlist back in 2007-2008, made up of about 300 bloggers and “reporters” who were campaigning for 0bama. They are the ones who savaged Palin in 2008, and even continued doing so years after.

Klein and the rest of them are all liberal dirtbags, the only reason he “suspended” him was to get his name in the in the press, nothing more.

That’s what I was thinking, fire his butt!!!

We are at a cross roads in America, very simply put:

If you want to save America, land of the Free, home of the Brave: Vote Trump...

If you want New World Order, no freedom, no religion, no guns: Vote Hillary...

There are NO other choices and this choice is yours and yours alone to decide...

Pinging you to this article. Rensin may be too stupid to walk it back, but Vox editor-in-chief Ezra Klein “gets it.”

Because the next injury or property damage at the next riot would be actionable thanks to that moron.

Ezra, why do you have a pajama boy on staff whose sole contribution to America was a book called “The best Twitter posts”?

Getting suspended by Soros stooge Ezra Klein means you’ve really hit bottom.

If they didn’t suspend him and something happened then the magazine could be held liable.

He needs to be charged with inciting a riot and then jailed.
