Reza Aslan, who is an Iranian-born immigrant professor who has appeared on CNN and Comedy Central’s The Daily Show threatened to “Burn the entire f*cking thing down” if President Trump and Senate Republicans even tried to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court.
We reported at the time that Georgia Republican Congressional nominee Marjorie Greene called Aslan out, “Thousands of threats of violence & riots, like this, were made last night by leftists Not a single one of the accounts were banned or suspended.” The tweet is still active.

Not a single one of the accounts were banned or suspended
But Twitter will take action against me for holding a gun in a picture?
When I get to Congress I will hold Big Tech ACCOUNTABLE! https://t.co/5zyx34VHBW
Following Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation to the Supreme Court tonight to replace Justice Ginsburg, conservative activist Dinesh D’Souza shared a screenshot of the tweet by Aslan and said, “Your move @rezaaslan! #AmyConeyBarrettSCOTUS.”
Aslan responded, “Send me your address.”
Send me your address https://t.co/6lGVgEDQ19

D’Sousa retweeted Aslan’s response and said, “This cowardly punk is threatening violence against me. He threatened to burn down the Supreme Court. Now he’s lost his nerve and trying to save face”

As Greene pointed out when the original tweet was posted, “Twitter will take action against me for holding a gun in a picture?”
It will be interesting to see if Twitter takes action against Aslan’s latest threat.
