A reporter for Jezebel has publically announced the thrill she would feel if White House adviser Stephen Miller were to die of the coronavirus.
According to The Daily Caller:
A senior reporter at Jezebel wrote an article Friday evening stating she would “be thrilled if [President Donald Trump’s advisor] Stephen Miller” died from the novel coronavirus.
Vice President Mike Pence’s press secretary Katie Miller, Stephen’s wife, tested positive for the novel coronavirus, the White House announced Friday. In response, senior reporter Molly Osberg wrote an article published on the website bluntly titled “I Will Personally Be Thrilled If Stephen Miller Dies of Covid-19.”
“And while I am generally loathe to wish physical harm on those I disagree with, and while I do wish Katie a speedy recovery, I’m comfortable shedding whatever objectivity I have here to say I desperately hope Stephen Miller contracts covid-19,” Osberg wrote.
The website promoted the article on Twitter and it began to spark controversy over the weekend. Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz called the post “sick and twisted.”
More disturbing part about this — and it’s understood it’s Jezebel — is that an editor/decision-maker green-lighted this. But hey… if it gets clicks, right? https://t.co/se43dngnhS

This is the state of “objective” American journalism. Just because someone’s opinion differs from yours they deserve death and despair.
