Alisha Grauso reaction on ra*e and death threats
While the tweet of Independence day celebration by Alisha Grauso asked Americans whether they wanted to celebrate Independence day or not. It was Fox News was who put that tweet of Alisha online.
It's now been 36 hours of harassment, rape & death threats because Fox News took a tweet of mine that was clearly not literal & blew it up online & on TV to stir up an unstable base. The threatening voicemail left at 9:30pm was a particular highlight. Extremely normal response.

Following this, she started getting ra*e and death threats. Now, Alisha after the threats has tweeted again about how she has been facing harassment for 36 hours. She also said about death and ra*e threats for her tweet that wasn’t literal and was out online to create an unstable state.
But this is what Fox News does. They've trained their base to no longer recognize figurative, metaphorical, facetious, non-literal. They've trained them to take everything absolutely literally, at face value, and then to respond to those trigger words like bulls seeing a cape.

Understand I'm not saying any of this to elicit sympathy. I'm saying this because it boggles my MIND that we can see, we can openly SEE, the damage that Rupert Murdoch & Fox are doing to this country. We can see the brainwashed millions. And we just…let them. We just let them.
