A couple days back, a young woman in Roanoke, VA. claimed she had been fired from her job with Social Services for having a license to carry concealed. We can neither confirm nor deny her story as we believe some details are still coming out and until journalists can adequately investigate the story there is no way to know for sure.
Seems this nobody blue-check with a podcast thinks reporters asking the woman to clarify and for more information makes them fascists.
Yeah, it’s stupid.

Dude, Twitter verified this guy.

Which publications is he talking about? Fascist-enabling? None of the people asking her about her story work for CNN, Salon or The Daily Kos.
Psh.
*see what we did there?*
One of the reporters ‘Nate’ did call a fascist was Free Beacon writer, Stephen Gutowski.
You may not be aware of how reporting works but generally when someone makes a newsworthy claim a reporter tries to contact the person to verify the claim. If you think that equals enabling fascism you're delusional. https://t.co/Nk37i1SFsi

Delusional is a nice way of saying the guy is denser than a 10-pound bag of flour at the bottom of the ocean.
I haven't even spoken to the woman at the center of this story yet, let alone written about her. All I did was ask her to email me more details. Apparently, doing that makes me a fascist. Twitter is a crazy place, man.

Twitter is perhaps the craziest place ever.
Dear Nate,
Why are you such a little bitch?
Fondly,
Hair

Awww, such a nice note.
Asking for details to research makes someone a fascist?

Who knew?
Asking questions to verify is now akin to fascism. Stupidity on display.

We see a LOT of it these days, and Twitter just keeps on verifying it.

This ain’t rocket science, Nate.
