When Chris Hayes isn’t crying into his sweater, he’s churning out hot takes like this:
Is a young women who survived sexual assault telling a US Senator to listen to her story an example of the "mob?" Is that incivility?
— Chris Hayes (@chrislhayes) October 10, 2018
There’s that aversion to “the M word,” again. It’s not the actions that offend our media betters, just the terminology used to describe those actions. Pathetic.
Your mom is an example of the mob

But seriously, though.
Willful blindness. https://t.co/Avc6XUOQzP

This is so disingenuous.
— Dustin Templeton (@dtempleton_smb) October 10, 2018
Extremely so.
If you mean the confrontation at the elevator with Sen. Flake, then yes, it is gross incivility. Suppose it had been Susan Collins in the elevator, and a male had talked that way to her? "Look at me when I'm talking to you!" If you have forgotten, check it out on YouTube.

Which group did that young woman work for again?
Who funded her over $100K/year salary?
Was “look at me when I talk to you” a slogan they were all practicing and NOT a spontaneous expression of grief? https://t.co/dvAh3PRwIB

That's some surgical selection there, but it don't make us forget about:
1. Rushing the Capitol steps
2. Banging on SCOTUS doors, trying to pry them open
3. Continual harrassment of Senators in restaurants, outside their homesThem's right there is some mobs, Mr. Journalist.

A leftist mob is when republicans are being shot at, doxxed, stabbed, beaten, run out of restaurants, sent death threats and ricin via mail, stalked and having our property damaged.
Keep celebrating and playing dumb, you're helping us build a big beautiful red wave. Many thanks.

Still think you’re helping your cause, Chris?

That’s not all he’s doing. He’s also pulling an Aaron Blake and turning this back around to conservatives:
Conservatism's ability to be both victor and victim will never cease to amaze.
— Chris Hayes (@chrislhayes) October 10, 2018
What’s really amazing is that Hayes thinks that’s a brilliant observation.
Kavanaugh was the *victim* of a vicious smear campaign — including being called a gang rapist — which doesn’t change just because the GOP was the *victor* in a Senate confirmation battle.
There’s literally nothing amazing about both of those things being true at the same time. https://t.co/fJJT8lWhSj

Also amazing? This:

Update:
A little more food for thought that Chris Hayes can chew on when he finishes flapping his gums:
i must have missed the activists sharing their experiences with sexual assault in the videos of republicans being chased out of restaurants https://t.co/56oudzv6ji
— Booe! Gabriel Simonson ? (@SaysSimonson) October 10, 2018
was steve scalise's attempted assassination a protest against rape?
— Booe! Gabriel Simonson ? (@SaysSimonson) October 10, 2018
why didn't that old man in portland who was chased in his car by a mob listen to that guy with a baseball bat tell him about his experience with sexual assault?
— Booe! Gabriel Simonson ? (@SaysSimonson) October 10, 2018
i suppose before the police arrested that congressional aide who doxxed a bunch of senators they should have asked him if he was ever a victim of sexual violence
