(CNN/Money) Ezra Klein’s Vox has suspended one of its editors after he encouraged people to start riots at Donald Trump rallies.
The editor, Emmett Rensin, tweeted late Thursday night that it was “never a shame to storm the barricades set up around a fascist.” He then added, “Advice: If Trump comes to your town, start a riot.”
In a statement on Friday, Klein wrote that “direct encouragement of riots crosses a line between expressing a contrary opinion and directly encouraging dangerous, illegal activity.”
“We welcome a variety of viewpoints, but we do not condone writing that could put others in danger,” he wrote. “In this case, Emmett’s tweets violated Vox’s standards and Emmett has been suspended as a consequence.”
