Donald Trump destroyed civility in this country. He and his supporters must be punished.
And the Principled Conservatives™ at the Lincoln Project are out there leading the charge (redactions are ours):
Nice lives those two have there … would be a shame if something happened to them.
Is this targeted harassment, @Twitter? https://t.co/MH8G1U1n5Z

We’d say so. And it gets worse:
I have some of their client list and those client's contact information. Shall I post them so the public can call and shame them for using this Republic destroying lawfirm?
I think at least half of their clients will withdraw. That's my guess. Such is the price for treason.
— Ron Cole (@RonCCole) November 10, 2020
Risking the lives of those lawyers and the lives of their clients is just the price for treason. What can you do?
This is a literal open call for harassment, report this https://t.co/qiEUrLXIVx

Is it legal to promote the intimidation of someone's lawyers like this? https://t.co/Ff2FiEj3BI
— Noam Blum (@neontaster) November 10, 2020
Any attorneys involved in this intimidation should be hauled up on ethics charges https://t.co/JzmWVtXiW5

This is demented and sick and anyone associated with this group should be ashamed of themselves. https://t.co/LiWUODOf3f

Lawyers are allowed to represent clients, including murderers and rapists, without being targeted for harassment. This is disgusting and despicable.
— Mo Mo (@MollyRatty) November 10, 2020
This is gross. We are not on the same side. We do not share the same politics. You are enemies of reason and unity. Your goal to 'rebuild' the Republican party is pathetically narcissistic. If this is the house you're building, I'd rather sleep in a tent https://t.co/ISbgD4ugS2

The Lincoln Project may ver well have sunk to a whole new low here. And if anyone deserves to be made “famous” for being horrible human beings, it’s the garbage people at the Lincoln Project. In fact, they deserve infamy.
Rx is @ProjectLincoln doing the internet equivalent of inciting to riot? @TwitterSupport @jack, any thoughts? https://t.co/zU5mY7AvDG

Surely Twitter’s powers that be have something to say about this, right?
Reported for targeted harassment.
If Twitter doesn't suspend them, nothing matters anymore. https://t.co/hIi4fNfLFb

Let’s go, Twitter. Put your money where your mouth is.

Update:
The Lincoln Project is really embracing this whole fascist/communist list thing:
In case there was any doubt that they’re on a rampage:
NEW:@ProjectLincoln is launching a TV and social media campaign targeting @JonesDay for any role it plays in enabling Trump's efforts to overturn the election, I'm told.
Jones Day clients will also be targets, @TheRickWilson tells me. New details here:https://t.co/ugh4Rhqr5u
— Greg Sargent (@ThePlumLineGS) November 10, 2020
The new @ProjectLincoln campaign will also target Jones Day's clients.
“I’d like to know how General Motors justifies working with a company that’s aggressively seeking to undermine the validity of a free and fair election," @TheRickWilson tells me.https://t.co/ugh4Rhqr5u pic.twitter.com/Dnx2nFvxo7
— Greg Sargent (@ThePlumLineGS) November 10, 2020
Biden has apparently won the election, which means that the Lincoln Project needs to find newer and worse ways to stay relevant.
The law firms architecting Donald Trump’s unwarranted and dangerous attacks on our democracy are @JonesDay &@PorterWright
Their employees should resign in protest. https://t.co/s6LK9uNBwq
— The Lincoln Project (@ProjectLincoln) November 10, 2020
These law firms are poisoning American democracy by stoking conspiracy theories that the election was illegitimate. It is disgraceful conduct. https://t.co/zpIN9vkZty
— Steve Schmidt (@SteveSchmidtSES) November 10, 2020
Put down those stones and step out of your glass house, you creep.
Defend your democracy:
1. Created a LinkedIn account.
2. Message someone who works at @JonesDay or @PorterWright.
3. Ask them how they can work for an organization trying to overturn the will of the American people. https://t.co/Q3NR5xM4tjhttps://t.co/65DOcAUHYb— The Lincoln Project (@ProjectLincoln) November 10, 2020
Reply with screenshots of your messages.

Yes, please. By all means, document your scumbaggery.

Update:
We can’t believe we’re saying this, but Twitter has actually taken down the tweet for violating their rules:
How about that? pic.twitter.com/uslFvOFgFc
— BT (@back_ttys) November 10, 2020
BREAKING: A Twitter spokesperson tells me that the Lincoln Project tweet "is in violation of the Twitter Rules on abusive behavior. The account owner will be required to delete the violative Tweet before regaining access to their account."
— Mary Margaret Olohan (@MaryMargOlohan) November 10, 2020
You know, Twitter could save themselves any future headaches by just suspending the Lincoln Project now, before the LP gets someone hurt or worse.

Update:
Holy hell, these people:
Donald Trump's encouragement of harrassment of American democracy is undemocratic, potentially dangerous, and counterproductive. Whatever you think of the Administration's legal arguments, targeting the sanctity of our elections is immoral & ineffective. https://t.co/b51wTDs21o
— The Lincoln Project (@ProjectLincoln) November 10, 2020
They’re doing this. They’re actually doing this.
This is what the Lincoln Project is saying after Twitter concluded that one of its (now-deleted) tweets violated Twitter's rules against abusive behavior. https://t.co/F3dJzXW5VB

Disgusting.
