This same left wing web site he worked at accused trump of not speaking out about the threats against jewish community centers He is both a Bernie Sanders voter, as well as a left-wing journalist.

He talked about wanting “to create a Jewish newtown tomorrow,” , referring to the school shootings in Newtown Connecticut.

If a right wing journalist did this it would be stop the presses and round the clock coverage of trump hate on the rise.

When are people going to start really talking about the hate speech coming from the left? Marches where the flag is stomped on and burned, Anti trump hysteria, the left in america is sick

I am surprised he didnt get a job at cnn or npr. Another great left wing "journalist"

These are screen shots from wikimedia commons of his tweets

Well in case you haven't noticed Bannon who was head of Brietbart is one of Trumps advisors. I do believe he just might be biased against other religions and races so yes I would expect there would be more outrage, that is the essence of their organization. If a Black Panther was caught threatening white people would you expect more of a reaction?

It's a good thing he was caught. Pretty dangerous that someone like that has journalism credentials, and was previously fired for making up an interview subject out of whole cloth and writing about it, then, he still managed to get another job. Let that sink in.

But as for this crime, I have no doubt we will find out that the cemetery vandalism will turn out to be done by people of Juan Thompson's ilk just to make it appear that Trump supporters are racists. No one believes these "hate crimes" anymore, which is sad because there are probably some genuine hate crimes.

My bad, it look like he did work for Chicago’s NPR member station. lol

https://theintercept.com/2014/11/06/...son-intercept/

He often reported about police brutality and hate crimes against African Americans.

Some really excellent reporting on how he was supposedly treated at a trump rally.

He wrote a story for the Intercept about being mistreated at a Trump rally. Much of this story was later shown to be fabricated He said he was assaulted and mocked, pretty much all lies


Here’s the Intercept’s original tweet displaying the article:

That guy is a ticking time bomb and he probably would have escalated to violence had he not been caught.

I wonder if the media will be forced to "disavow" him, or bernie sanders. The guy has some amazing pieces he wrote, there are so many of these left wing nut jobs out there in the media

“NO JUSTICE, NO RESPECT”: WHY THE FERGUSON RIOTS WERE JUSTIFIED
by Juan Thompson

"After uncovering misattributed quotes in stories written by Juan Thompson, a former staff reporter, The Intercept conducted a review of his work. We were unable to confirm the quotes in this piece attributed to Dashawn Woods, Michael Brady, and Brady’s fiancée. A spokesperson from St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay’s office could not confirm that Thompson had spoken to the mayor"
