Gitlin tweeted hate speech to intimidate Republican Senator Hawley. (Tweets from Twitter)
Senator Josh Hawley, a Republican from Missouri, has become a thorn in the side of some liberals in the U.S. for taking the lead in challenging the electoral vote results of the presidential election in the Senate, and has not only had his new book canceled by the publisher, but has also been attacked by his hometown newspaper.
According to the National Review, a conservative magazine, Jonathan Gitlin, a former senior policy analyst at the National Institutes of health (NIH), repeatedly tweeted that Hawley should be “skinned alive and rolled in salt” for daring to challenge the integrity of the 2020 election.
Although Gitlin later deleted the tweet, on Jan. 7, the day after the pro-Trump “Stop the Steal” rally, Gitlin responded to a tweet blaming Hawley for the election fraud by making the same threat again, stressing that he stood by his previously deleted tweet and believed Hawley should indeed be skinned alive and rolled in salt.
Gitlin, a former adjunct professor at the University of Kentucky and current automotive editor for the technology news site Ars Technica, worked for more than six years from 2009 to 2015 at NIH, the parent unit of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), to which U.S. epidemic prevention expert Fauci belongs.
The National Review questioned whether Fauci was at the helm of NIAID during Gitlin’s tenure, and that it was probably Fauci’s recommendation that led NIH to hire Gitlin for the senior position.
Fauci was questioned by Trump supporters before the U.S. election for his lack of administrative neutrality, politicizing epidemic prevention in interviews, and as a member of the epidemic prevention team, not mentioning policies to the president but also putting words around, even praising Biden’s epidemic prevention policies.
