Politico Editor Advocates Violence

For John, BLUF:  If it wasn't for low standards the national level Democrats wouldn't have any standards at all.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Politico Editor RESIGNS After Publishing Home Addresses Of Alt-Right Icon Richard Spencer, Advocating For ‘Baseball Bats’

These headlines are getting too long. The headline was brought to you by The Daily Caller (News Foundation), from National Security/Foreign Policy Reporter Jonah Bennett. Basically, Politico Editor Michael Hirsh was out Tweeting and crossed the line, crossed a line that even Politico recognized.

“These posts were clearly outside the bounds of acceptable discourse, and POLITICO editors regard them as a serious lapse of newsroom standards,” Politico Editor-In-Chief John Harris and Editor Carrie Budoff Brown told TheDCNF.  “They crossed a line in ways that the publication will not defend, and editors are taking steps to ensure that such a lapse does not occur again.”

So, while Mr Trump was condemned for saying he might not accept the outcome of the votes, the Democrats are speaking and acting on the idea that they will not accept the outcome of the vote.♠
