Not going to link to it, but someone shared with me a website that is creating dossiers, including contact info/employers/etc of people they are calling "murderers" because they said things about yesterday's killing that weren't 100% positive. Some of the examples of "murderers" include people...

Someone linked me to the Fox News article on the lockdown at the Naval Academy and it started autoplaying a video where a host was talking about "hateful" comments that got Matthew Dowd fired (he called Kirk "divisive") and the host shakes her head at "the left" and says "there's no room for that."
Every time I see O'Leary I feel compelled to remind people how he made his original fortune by selling The Learning Company to Mattel for billions, getting immediately accused of fraud, tossed out, and having Mattel give away what was left for basically nothing. [time.com/archive/6906...](

Hanania helped kick off the bogus "anti-conservative censorship by social media must be stopped" campaign by releasing a fake study saying that conservative voices were censored, and when we looked at the data he meant (literally) the American Nazi party.
