Remember when Disney straight-up fired Gina Carano over a tweet that wasn’t half as offensive as the rant that got Whoopi Goldberg a two-week suspension from “The View”? The fine folks at The Daily Wire stepped up and worked out a deal with Carano to star in their films. And when Allison Williams left ESPN over the vaccine mandate there, The Daily Wire scooped her up.
Now we have Seth Dillion, who knows a thing or two about being canceled after The Babylon Bee’s Twitter account was locked for posting a tweet naming Rachel Levine “Man of the Year.” Dillon’s still going strong on Twitter, and he weighed in on the doxxing of the woman behind Libs of Tik Tok by Washington Post “tech reporter” Taylor Lorez.
1/ The exposure of @libsoftiktok isn't journalism; it's pure intimidation. They're threatened by her effectiveness, so they hope to silence her by making her too afraid to continue. They want to raise the cost of doing her work so high that she has no choice but to quit.

2/ But I think they'll be surprised by her resolve. She's afraid, as anyone would be in these circumstances, but she's also determined to not be bullied, threatened, or harassed into silence. That takes remarkable courage that few people possess.

3/ I think they'll also be surprised by the support she receives. I want them to know that she won't be canceled from her job because this *is* her job now. I've worked out a deal with her that will turn her heroic, high-risk work into a career.

4/ They may have exposed her, but they'll never stop her.
Long live @libsoftiktok.

Nice. The deal was reportedly in the works before all of this blew up Tuesday, but good work nonetheless.
You guys are the real deal Seth. Send me another t-shirt 🙂

Thank you, Seth. Smart business move. Get woke, go broke, and the opposite is true, too.

By publicizing, they can misrepresent and lie about precisely what she does.
So now she's ________phobic and _______ist.
It's not just exposing her ID, it's exposing her ID for plainly dishonest purposes, and smearing by association her followers.

You both are true Americans. We love you. 🇺🇸

Remember when the left loved anonymous whistleblowers?

What are they afraid of? Don’t the libs want their message out?? Lol.

It’s curious to me that @libsoftiktok was temporarily suspended by Twitter a few days before this hit piece came out…

I bet Twitter is then going to use this article as grounds for permanent suspension based on hateful content. That's how they have operated in the past.

She's up to almost 750k followers so this seems to have helped her. They will try to suspend her for sure.

They’ve suspended people for “hateful conduct” for using the word “pansy.” We hope Dillion has big things in mind.
