Alan Pyke is ThinkProgress’ deputy economic policy editor. He is also, according to his Twitter bio, “reflexively assholish.” That sounds about right:

My, how progressive!
This is the "Civility" that libs always scream about. —->@PykeA I hope Roger Ailes dies slow, painful, and soon.

@PykeA @Chris_1791 That's the most mean-spirited thing I've heard in a while. What does this do to the "American tapestry?"

Update:
Pyke deleted the tweet and posted this apology:
Deleting my hateful Roger Ailes tweet from earlier. Hoping that another human being dies is a shitty thing to do, and I'm sorry.
