Director Judd Apatow on violent Berkeley riots: ‘This is just the beginning’
On Wednesday, director Judd Apatow issued a tweet warning conservatives and those who support President Trump that the violent Berkeley riots are “just the beginning,” Breitbart.com reported. The tweet was taken down but not before it was captured for posterity:
“This is just the beginning,” he told his 1.9 million Twitter followers. “When will all the fools who are still supporting Trump realize what is at stake?”
Sounds like a threat to me…
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
Breitbart added:
Apatow, who directed The 40 Year Old Virgin, Trainwreck, Knocked Up, and Bridesmaids, made the threatening tweet after far-left “anti-fascist” rioters assaulted numerous attendees, started fires, smashed up shops and ATMs, and attacked people’s cars at Breitbart Senior Editor MILO’s UC Berkeley show on Wednesday.
Apatow deleted the tweet shortly after, following backlash.
I deleted my tweet because it was vague. I never support violence. I do support peaceful protest against hateful people and awful ideas. https://t.co/wT3B11pelW

No, Judd, it wasn’t vague. And there was nothing peaceful about the riots, as we and others have reported.

.@JuddApatow No one covering the #Berkeley protest said it was peaceful, Judd. People were beaten with metal pipes & bricks. Think.

But that’s what liberals call “tolerance,” because “love trumps hate” or something…
Judd…your tweet was pretty clear. Here it is again, in case you need reminding. pic.twitter.com/jPidDjpkXD

Liberalism, as I’ve repeatedly said since February 2011, is an ideology of rage and hate. Sadly, liberals like Apatow prove that assertion correct on just about any given day.
