Outrageous: #KillKavanaugh top Twitter search, hashtag suggestions
On Sunday, Breitbart News reported that typing “kill” in Twitter’s search bar produces the shocking hashtag #KillKavanaugh as top of its top results.
We tested that theory and got the following result:
As you can see, the term “kill Kavanaugh” in various forms appears multiple times in the result.
In short, Breitbart said, “Twitter is suggesting that its users might be interested in a hashtag about the murder of a federal judge and SCOTUS nominee.”
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
The search result was also found by Instapundit:

Breitbart noted:
Although many current tweets on the hashtag are critical of both the hashtag and Twitter’s double standards, earlier tweets use the hashtag unironically and uncritically. Several of these tweets have not been removed by Twitter, and the accounts that tweeted them do not appear to have been punished by Twitter in any way, despite the fact that some users say they have reported them.

One would think that’s the case, but as we’ve reported before, it’s not unusual for Twitter to allow such hashtags and tweets where conservatives are the target of left-wing hate.
@jack this is fucked up… the 1st thing that pops up in auto fill when you type hashtag and kill… it says #KillKavanaugh. I think you @jack should be held accountable if something happens to Kavanaugh! pic.twitter.com/vwnoDL51e5

Others noted the double standard, especially after Twitter took action against actor James Woods, who is extremely popular on the social media site.

Good question.
Liberalism, as I first opined back in 2011, has proven itself to be an ideology of insane bloodthirsty rage and hate. Sadly, leftists prove that assertion correct on just about any given day.
