How Pizzagate Pusher Mike Cernovich Keeps Getting People Fired

The article describes Pizzagate:

But Cernovich only achieved MAGA superstar status — his Twitter follower count surging past 200,000 — by using social media to spread a lie that nearly got families murdered in a pizza joint.

“Pizzagate” was a far-right disinformation campaign about a supposed satanic pedophilia ring run by prominent Democrats out of a D.C. pizzeria. It began as a baseless white supremacist conspiracy theory in the dingiest forums of the internet. But it turned into a full-fledged psyop when Cernovich and other MAGA operatives fused the lies to the hacked emails of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager, John Podesta.

Any person, writer or editor coming to James Gunn defense has outed themselves as being pro-pedophilia. Its really that simple.

bullshit.

Jokes about war or murder don't make you pro war or pro murder. A joke on a touchy subject can be horrible and in bad taste or it can hilarious and revealing.

You want the world to be just black and white you go ahead. But most folks can see other shades.

There are no other shades here. The jokes weren't even funny.

I'm pro-life, but I can still find Carlin's pro-abort routines funny. I believe in God, but still find his atheist routines funny.

This wasn't funny. I've noted on here that, for example, "The Aristocrats" is an old, old gross-out joke that doesn't indicate anything when people have found recordings of Bob Saget or Gilbert Gottfried doing it.

This isn't the same at all.
