On Thursday, social media personality Guy Christensen — known online as “YourFavoriteGuy” — posted a video voicing support for Elias Rodriguez, the man accused of killing two Israeli embassy employees during a private event in Washington, DC, last week. “I do not condemn the elimination of the Zionist officials,” Christensen said in the now-deleted clip, later urging viewers...
