Journalist: ‘I Want To Find An Antimasker And Beat Them To Death’; ‘You F***ing Christians’ Are What ‘Jesus Condemns’

The war between anti-maskers and the ones who aren’t butthurt over masks continues. On New Year’s Eve, journalist and New York Times bestselling author Kurt Eichenwald wished “pain & misery” on Republicans, adding he wants to find an “ant masker” and “beat them to death.”
Though we were taught that the words could not hurt us, it’s easy to see that the author crossed boundaries. Eichenwald continued vicious rant, calling anti-mask “F***ING Christians who preen about God saving [them] from COVID,” claiming they are who “Jesus condemns.”
His reasons were personal, but it doesn’t make things any better.
Covid-19 losses deepen the gap between people
The journalist explained that he suffered a family loss due to Covid-19. He tweeted that he lost his brother-in-law due to Covid. Eichenwald added that in one day, 4000 people died, and he blamed the anti-maskers:
I have so much hate in my heart tonight. My sister, widowed by COVID, has Covid because of antimaskers. About 4,000 died today; GOP says nothing. @HawleyMO & his ilk are working to harm America. I wish them & their loved ones all the pain & misery they inflicted on this country.

The journalist and writer posted another tweet, which was soon removed for violations:
Eichenwald wrote:
“It’s at the moment like this that I want to find an ant masker and beat them to death. Since they believe they have the right to kill others, they have surrendered any right to object. #CategoricalImperative.”
He finally explained that he’s not planning to kill anyone, tweeting that he usually doesn’t contemplate violence:
..no, I’m not planning to kill anyone. Just, as the misery descends on our family again, it is hard not to contemplate violence against those who don’t care if they kill.

Twitter tried to reason with the writer
One Twitter user asked Eichenwald a question, which’s been bugging all of us: how do people who wear masks still get the virus.

The response was brutal and quite condescending. Calling someone stupid in the middle of the pandemic, while we’re always searching for answers, is insulting to all humankind.
If someone is willing to leave the children of innocents without parents, I don’t care if their own kids are orphans. Reap what they sew. It shouldn’t just be the innocent that suffer.

Eichenwald continued with disturbing tweets, even stating that he does not “care” if folks’ children are left orphans if those people don’t take the COVID precautions he would like them to take.
You FUCKING "Christians" who preen about God saving you from COVID so you dont need masks. Youre what Jesus condemns. You kill with hypocrisy. Read Matthew 25:41-46. If you realize the Bible is about more than hating gays, you'll realize: For your selfishness, you'll burn in hell
— Kurt "Masks Save Lives" Eichenwald (@kurteichenwald) December 31, 2020
In one of his last anger outbursts of the evening, he lashed out at “F***ING’ Christians'” who will “burn in hell” for their COVID-related “selfishness” and “hypocrisy.”
The journalist’s meltdown
Though this isn’t an isolated case, this is just the beginning. As more people are left without their loved ones due to Covid-19 complications, the more they will have an urge to lash out at strangers.

The Blaze’s Sara Gonzales simply called everyone “nuts,” while Justin Hart warned us that we’re acting like it’s the middle ages.

Instead of showing compassion, teaching each other, and being kind, because this is the biggest challenge of our times, we’re acting like barbarians.
400 yrs ago when a real plague hit Italy it was thought that foreign invaders went around brushing city walls with plague-infested water. When an older gentleman was seen brushing off a pew to sit on accusations flew. He was taken out and beaten to death.

Wearing a mask is the least you can do. However, no one should threaten to take someone’s life over a mask.
