As a reminder, this is the journalist that Donald Trump mocked for being epileptic. Here is the tweet his wife sent on his behalf. EPILEPSY WARNING due to responses.
This is not the first time they've tried to make him have a seizure. I would also post an article on the current situation, but so far, the only ones are from those that mock him for it. Once the story is covered from a decent source, I'll edit the OP. I don't have the skill to articulate how disgusting this is, but I think it's worth sharing before then anyway.
In case of deletion (here's the archived version, WARNING: SEIZURE-INDUCING GIFS STILL WORK), but the account is still open after 10 hours. The account had actively participated in harassment prior to this attack, but of course, Twitter did nothing, and has emboldened these people by verifying Neo-Nazi leaders this week. As is expected, the responses are filled with anti-semitic abuse, epileptic imagery, and smug celebration from other Trump Youth. Please consider reporting some of them as harassment or as attacks against an individual.
Edit: The good news is that the original account has been suspended, and many of the epileptic images are gone. This, however, hasn't stopped all of the gifs, or the anti-semitic abuse.
Edit 2: Kurt is fine, and will be taking a break from Twitter for a few days. His attacker will be prosecuted.
