'Deplorables won't stop me': Kurt Eichenwald's 'short Twitter break' was REALLY brief

Doug P. | 1:12 PM on December 17, 2016

As we told you yesterday, Newsweek journo Kurt Eichenwald said he was taking a short break from Twitter following his much publicized meltdown after an interview with Tucker Carlson. Eichenwald said the “short break” was for “spending that time with my lawyers & law enforcement going after 1 of u.” Eichenwald accused a Twitter user of causing a seizure and said it would be reported to police “as an assault.”

The “short break” didn’t last long, as Eichenwald had a message today for the “deplorables”:

Deplorables won't stop me. I'll be on @amjoyshow in 45 minutes. See you then.

He’ll have a much more agreeable interviewer in MSNBC’s Joy Reid than he did with Tucker Carlson.

You can't stop @kurteichenwald from going on a liberal-friendly program, guys! https://t.co/wysea317ax

Weren't his tweets going to be limited to police reports and civil filings? Guess the cops and lawyers laughed in his face as we did. https://t.co/AA2C9dv4tN
