As we told you last night, Chris Hayes quickly came to the defense of Julia Ioffe after her awful tweet suggested Donald Trump was in an incestual relationship with his daughter, Ivanka.
But Hayes was not alone is his praise. Here are 21 other journalists who have tweeted their support of the now fired Politico writer:
1. Mark Joseph Stern, Slate:
The preening sycophants at @politico who fired @juliaioffe for making a lewd comment about our sexual predator president-elect disgust me.

14. Lauren Duca, freelance journalist:
LOL if you're upset about @juliaioffe's tweet but not Trump's repeated implications that he wants to fuck Ivanka pls go die in a locker room
— Lauren Duca (@laurenduca) December 15, 2016
15. Jesse Berney, Rolling Stone:
.@juliaioffe had to deal with hordes of Nazis threatening her life. If anyone deserves to make a Trump-wants-to-bang-Ivanka joke, it's her.
— Jesse Berney (@jesseberney) December 15, 2016
16. Kirsten Powers, USA Today/CNN:
People need to lay off @juliaioffe. She apologized, but of course Twiitter wants her burned at the stake. She's a great journo. Period.
— Kirsten Powers (@KirstenPowers) December 15, 2016
17. E.J. Dickson, @Romper:
That @juliaioffe felt she had to apologize for her tweet AT ALL speaks volumes about how we treat women in media. https://t.co/bOMxSlaJfG
