Sally Kohn has taken to posting a #DailyActofResistance over on her timeline with today’s asking her followers to call their senators to protest Neil Gorsuch because he founded a “friggin fascism fan club” in high school:
Get on this people. We need Supreme Court judges who are a check on fascism, not fans of it! #DailyActOfResistance #StopGorsuch ✊?✊?✊?✊?✊? pic.twitter.com/W2esEACmwr

As everyone knows by now, there’s nothing to this story. And if you don’t believe us, check with Snopes who found it “false”:
No fan of Gorsuch, but let's get 'em on the facts! Or do you know something Snopes doesn't? https://t.co/zjv6Gak1dD

Then she dug in:
the account of his yearbook posting is accurate as even Snopes agrees.

And:
However, we contacted Georgetown Preparatory School to verify whether a “Fascism Forever” club operated in or around that school in 1985, and director of communications Patrick Coyle told us that “no such club ever existed” there.

So she want from Gorsuch started “friggin fascism fan club” and he’s a “fan of [fascism]” to what a high school student joked about in his yearbook is real?
If the best you got on Gorsuch is a satirical yearbook posting then it's time to fold.
