Months before a man allegedly turned his vehicle into a weapon and plowed through a group of protesters in Charlottesville, Virginia, an article that made the rounds in conservative media encouraged readers to do something similar.
Originally published by The Daily Caller and later syndicated or aggregated by several other websites, including Fox Nation, an offshoot of Fox News' website, it carried an unsubtle headline: "Here's A Reel Of Cars Plowing Through Protesters Trying To Block The Road." Embedded in the article was a minute-and-a-half long video showing one vehicle after another driving through demonstrations. The footage was set to a cover of Ludacris' "Move Bitch."
The article was published in January, but it drew renewed attention on Tuesday following this weekend's deadly incident in Charlottesville. As the outrage grew on Twitter, Fox News took action, deleting the version Fox Nation had published.
"The item was inappropriate and we've taken it down. We regret posting it in January," Noah Kotch, the editor-in-chief of Fox News Digital, said in a statement provided to CNNMoney.

(37,648 posts)I'll do some searching on that. I think it was someone going somewhere, when confronted with a protest, so he just plowed ahead. Didn't kill anyone. It was an angry man.
I found one, but it wasn't the same thing. It was in Ferguson. He slowly tried to drive thru protestors and slightly injured one woman, but it seems he was on his way home from work & didn't know what was going on, was just trying to get thru the crowd.
