As most of us know by now, a certain element of Donald Trump’s base thinks that daring to speak out against the Donald is nothing short of treasonous. For the last two years, reporters and others who have even mildly criticized Trump on Twitter have found themselves brutally harassed and threatened by pro-Trump diehards.
The latest example of this came on Wednesday afternoon, when a prominent member of the pro-Trump “New Right” claimed New York mayor Bill de Blasio was an accessory to a horrific truck-ramming attack in lower Manhattan. Why? Because de Blasio dared to criticize Trump.
On Monday afternoon, just after a get-out-the-vote rally with Bernie Sanders, de Blasio took a swipe at his most (in)famous constituent.
As long as @realDonaldTrump is in office, New York City will stand up to him every single day.

When leading “New Right” blogger and Pizzagate peddler Mike Cernovich saw this roll across his Twitter feed, he hit the ceiling.

Oh noes! De Blasio bears responsibility for a man mowing down 19 people and killing eight of them! Why? Because the mayor dared to double down on his opposition to the man who wants to make America great again! It’s treasonous, I tell you. Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up!
Seriously, Cernovich revealed a lot about the mentality that drives the mentality of those who still believe Trump walks on water. In their world, nothing less than fawning support of Trump is acceptable.
Cernovich might want to take a look on his own side before he wags his finger at de Blasio or anyone else. After all, in the absence of something we haven’t heard or seen, it definitely looks like a bunch of Trumpkin thugs tried to make it look like those protesting a Cernovich speech at Columbia University were supporting pedophilia. They disguised themselves as antifa and unfurled a banner reading “No white supremacy, no pedo bashing, no Mike Cernovich” that appeared to be sponsored by the North American Man/Boy Love Association. Fortunately, the real protesters saw through the game–but not before pictures of the banner lit up across Trumpland.
But even without that to consider, we know what was on de Blasio’s mind on Monday. Expanding access to kindergarten, for starters.

Pay attention, Mike. De Blasio is actually governing. It’s a big reason why he is well on his way to a second term in next Tuesday’s election.
Cernovich and his friends would have you believe that we’re being unpatriotic and un-American by opposing Trump. But with this tweet, Cernovich revealed that he and his friends are the ones being un-American. That’s the only way you can describe a suggestion that merely speaking out against Trump makes you an accessory to a terrorist attack.
