Politico editor resigns after calling for 'baseball bat' attacks on white nationalist leader – and posting his home address on Facebook

The national editor of Politico's weekly news magazine resigned his position on Tuesday after he came under fire for advocating baseball-bat attacks on a white supremacist leader – and publishing the address of the man's two homes.

Michael Hirsh stepped down just hours after writing on Twitter that Americans should 'stop whining about Richard B. Spencer,' whom he called a 'Nazi,' and exercise your rights as decent Americans.'

'Here are his home addresses,' Hirsh added, providing one in Montana and another in a northern Virginia suburb of Washington, D.C.

He’ll end up over at CNN, MSNBC, or Newsweek before the night is over.

Maybe some folks stop by and set his mind right.

It is stupid to give Spencer publicity. He will thrive on these kinds of incidents.

He should be charged as an accomplice if someone carries out this threat.

Fake news, pretending to know how to play baseball. Shameful.

Isn’t this inciting violence, a crime? Arrest this punk.

Notices how these beta males are always calling for violence. If he’s so passionate, let him take a bat and go toe to toe with the “White nationalist” who he hates so much.

I didn’t agree with JimRob on pulling my Politico post on conservatives being diligent about Trump.

Look what happened with GW Bush Pere. None of us are saying we don’t want Trump to be successful.

The welshing and back-tracking of his campaign promises is concerning.

We’re willing to give our new President the benefit of the doubt.

But we have seen too many politicians forget where they came from. We helped to elect Trump.

And going wobbly with the New York Times is not what we want to see.

For us, its Enemy No. 1.

Seeing his picture, I’m pretty sure he’s never touched a baseball bat for any reason.

As if any of the pussy libtards who can only riot surrounded by dozens of other thugs and in cities with push over libs running the city, would ever go to Montana alone to face someone. LOL

Come back in a body bag.

Having the violent left out itself this way is a very good thing.

Your true anti-Trump colors are coming out a little early, aren’t they?

Michael Hirsh

At first I thought this was some 20-something who still lived with his parents and had no real-world experiences to draw from; you know, the "hold my beer and watch this" stage of maturity.

Nope. His IMDb profile says he was born in 1957, which should make him 59 years old. So I guess he just acts like an immature idiot. How sad that somebody at that point in his life has no firm grasp on the real world.

I do not care for either mans politics, but loathe the publication’s employee for disclosing personal information and agitating violence like the crazy leftist fascist he is.

They’re dog whistling to the union thugs to do their bidding. Seen this a lot. Especially on Kos.
