Journalists and Celebs Rush to Delete Tweets Slamming MAGA-Hat Kids

looks like the threat of slander lawsuits is motivating some folks...

Over the past 24 hours, journalists and public figures on Twitter have deleted previous posts slamming a group of MAGA hat-wearing teens for allegedly taunting a Native American vet, after more footage was released disputing the initial story. From CNN’s Jake Tapper to Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams, many on the internet are sharing a fuller explanation of the initial viral story.
Others, however, are very subtly just using the ‘delete’ button.
Recode editor and New York Times contributing op-ed writer Kara Swisher, for instance, deleted one tweet saying she was thinking of “finding every one of these shitty kids and giving them a very large piece of my mind,” and other tweets throwing slurs like “Nazi” and “nationalist.” Sinclair chief political correspondent Scott Thurman deleted a tweet alleging students in MAGA hats were “mocking” and “taunting” a Native American in front of the Lincoln Memorial in D.C., asking in a new tweet if the new video changed minds about the kids.

Nothing you have put on the internet can ever truly be deleted

Too late.
They should be prosecuted for cyber bullying, death threats, slander, libel, defamation, and when they get back with "free speech" remind them that the 1st amendment does not protect someone from lawsuits or prosecution.
There are laws in place against cyber bullying & death threats.
And if the school suspends or expels them sue the school.
Problem is finding a lawyer with the balls to do it.
And having the money to pay that lawyer. Most people, probably most families involved cannot afford this.
But to effectively fight back...go after them legally.
The posts have been captured by now, it's too late.

Deleting instead of retracting. It is always the same.

I hope every one of them is sued in Kentucky and they lose their asses.

F U C K them, it is too late.
They all need to fry, feel the pain you progressive, evil punks.
I have to take a break from this crap, I really am starting to wish that bad things happen to people and that is when you know it is too much.
But, yes, frick every one of those progressive haters. Hope they jump off a building or step in front of a train.

I don't understand how "Nationalist" is a slur?

I just read the comments under the article.
The fact that there are still leftists saying that a high school kid deserves to be punched in the face for remaining calm and smiling while a grown man approached him beating a drum and geting into his face make me terrified for this country

There are quite a few lawyers that have offered their services pro-bono if the kids and their families want to sue. Robert Barnes is one.

You have to remember that they're illogical beings, incapable of reason. They don't actually care what they're doing, they just see the red MAGA hat and their programming requires them to wish death upon teenagers.

Hopefully tweets have been screen shot and archived for for MAGA kid's posterity sake.

Good to hear. I hope he has a team of lawyers and ready to go...
Good for him!
Good for him!

This right here. The initial reaction was awful
but the subsequent doubling down is really frightening.
