    1) Dear Tucker Carlson: 

Hope you enjoyed your vacation. I would like to pick up where you left off.
 You keep insisting the threats of white nationalism and its attendant violence are just a “hoax” concocted by liberals. Dude, I only wish it were a hoax. Thread follows.pic.twitter.com/w2G3iKiWWn

        2) Believe me, my life would be so much better if all the stories and strange events I’ve covered as a reporter over the years were hoaxes. Then I could just go back to writing about things like killer whales and humpbacks, which is my real-world preference by a millennial mile.pic.twitter.com/zwr1nW4SyS

        1) Gather ‘round, everyone, while I replay for you the tale of the Aryan Nations. This will be another ungodly long thread, but I promise: When we’re done, the “liberals are the real Nazis” fulminations of @DineshDSouza will thereafter just give you a big ol’ belly laugh. pic.twitter.com/9He7HqEsPO

        5) It is beyond unfortunate that the bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in April 1995 by a white supremacist named Timothy McVeigh was not a hoax. Just think of the children who would still be alive.pic.twitter.com/sPdW7P3LoA

        10) Everyone who is not a white nationalist certainly wishes that Anders Breivik’s 2011 terrorist attacks on Oslo and Utoya Island had just been hoaxes. Some 87 innocent people, including 78 schoolkids, would still be alive if they had been.pic.twitter.com/qkfiq27DA0
