Historian faces shocking death threat — just for comparing Donald Trump to Andrew Johnson

[phands]

Sad what this country has become....

On Friday this stark tweet drew gasps from across Twitter:


The tweet was written by Manisha Sinha, a professor of history at the University of Connecticut. Messages of support poured in immediately from Jelani Cobb, Annette Gordon-Reed, Kevin Kruse and scores of others.

I think this is positive as it indicates that alt-right Tweeters are becoming more well read and pay attention to historians.

It's that fucking asshole Dinesh d'Souza.

I missed the threat against Manisha Sinha, but I've been following several of the historians including Kevin Kruse. The fuckwad d'Souza keeps trying to debate them on Twitter with his baseless no-nothing bullshit, and then getting his followers to troll the historians.

It looks like one of his brainless cretins took it even further

I think a month or more in jail could help quell this Twitter harassment.

Good news..is there a link to it somewhere? I couldn't find a direct reference. I also wonder if, g[FONT=&quot]iven Trump's offer to pay legal fees for his followers who physically harm protesters, there will be more of this, perhaps followed by pardons.[/FONT]
