Julia Ioffe's claim about where she felt safer as a journo than in the U.S. under Trump sends heads CRASHING to desks

Liberal media are very troubled by President Trump’s criticism of the mainstream media, and GQ correspondent Julia Ioffe said she felt a lot safer somewhere else:

I have to say, I feel less safe as a journalist in America these days than I ever did in Russia. A lot less safe.

Let the eye rolls commence!

Then you’re a fool. I’ve received multiple times as much hatred from the same people you did in 2016, and this remains an incredibly safe county for journalists. How many journalists have been murdered by the government here? https://t.co/Af4E7g0VnS

Oh yeah? Name one journalist the US government killed. https://t.co/4pKwP0XK3u

Okay, tally up the number of journalists who've been murdered or imprisoned in America and then tally up the same number in Russia. Let us know what you come up with. https://t.co/jqna4nt57U

That could be a lengthy assignment.

That’s a ridiculous thing to say.

She's Julia Ioffe. It goes with the territory.
