Former CNN contributor Reza Aslan suggested White House Senior Advisor Kellyanne Conway needed to be ‘eradicated,’ prompting Twitter to … well, do nothing.
Aslan, an Iranian-American scholar who hosted a “spiritual travel series” called Believer on the left-wing network, was responding to comments made by Conway about the recent tragedies in El Paso and Dayton.
The President’s advisor offered reasonable thoughts on coming together as Americans and suggesting “finger-pointing, name-calling & screaming,” as Democrats are wont to do in these situations, will solve nothing.
Aslan proved her right moments later when he tweeted, “You are ‘the depraved evil’ we need to eradicate.”

Have fun at your 10-hour interview with the Secret Service, Reza.
When television host John Cardillo responded that the only way to interpret Aslan’s comments were as a direct threat against Conway, the former CNN employee doubled down: “We are all so f***ing fed up with you racist GOPers and your bad faith bull***.”
We’re not sure the description of ‘scholar’ should be applied to this clearly unhinged individual.
Should Seek Help
Honestly, after the Secret Service interview, Aslan may want to consider seeking some sort of psychiatric help to overcome his Trump Derangement Syndrome.
TDS can be a terrible thing. And he has a history of symptoms.
Following a terrorist attack at London Bridge in 2017, Aslan cursed out President Trump as a “piece of s***” and “man baby” for reiterating the need for a travel ban.
Translation: the president is a man baby that must be ignored in times of crisis. https://t.co/Kv1hIC7hEG

“This piece of s*** is not just an embarrassment to America and a stain on the presidency. He’s an embarrassment to humankind,” Aslan wrote.
CNN cut ties with the host following those comments.
Twitter Totally Cool With His Threats
At the beginning of the year, Aslan helped spread the Covington Catholic media hoax, in which teenagers were falsely accused of harassing a Native American Vietnam veteran.
In doing so, he also threatened one of the teenagers with violence.

Twitter responded to the threat saying they “could not identify any violations of the Twitter Rules or applicable law.”
Similarly, the social media giant could find no violations with his call to ‘eradicate’ Kellyanne Conway.
“This tweet does not break our rules at this time,” an official told the Daily Wire.
On Monday, President Trump lashed out at the ‘fake news’ media, saying they are in part responsible for the level of anger in this country. Aslan’s threat is further proof that he is absolutely correct.
