Reddit User Behind Trump's anti-CNN Video Has History of anti-Semitism, Islamophobia

Source: Ha'aretz (Jul 03, 2017 1:25 AM)

The Reddit user who posted a spoof video showing President Donald Trump beating up CNN has a history of racist posts.

The user, who goes by HanAssholeSolo, posted the video on a pro-Trump subreddit, The_Donald, before Trump tweeted it with slight alternations on Saturday.

A review of HanAssholeSolo's Reddit feed turns up many an offensive post. The user often uses slurs to refer to African-Americans, Muslims and gay people.

---snip---

But he apparently didn't deem the anti-Semitic meme and comments such as "fuck Islam" as offensive enough to delete.

Of course the anti-Semitism isn't problematic enough to delete...for many people!

The only thing most people, and I do mean most, is they don't realize how much anti-Semitism is actually in play because too many don't see Jews as a "real" minority or one worthy of protection.

they see it as a European, not American phenomenon, not realizing it's a problem that doesn't give a damn about oceans.

Just when you though that the, " Moron " could not take the Office of the President any Lower - Well, he has and it is a Total Disgrace. And, the Saddest part for me is the Die Hard Trumpers will defend this Body Slam tweet by saying it was for fun, the media or Liberals created this, he is fight back.
Hope that anyone who reads this will contact CNN and ask them to give M. Griffin a Pass on the severed head of a Trump look alike mannequin - as you know, she was fired from CNN for a far less offensive video.
