Reporter: Is it safe to say that, based off your comments, you're suggesting that these women at these abortion rallies are ugly and overweight?

Gaetz: Yes.

Reporter: What do you say to people who think those comments are offensive?

Gaetz: Be offended.

Owen Jones is seriously encouraging his 1 million followers to harass a politician in the street, maybe outside his home, less than a year after David Amess was stabbed. Has he lost his mind? pic.twitter.com/KYOTodswW7

A professional political conman - that’s @Keir_Starmer - sacks someone who, unlike him, has principle and courage, and knows what solidarity means https://t.co/kBcbS402nu

"Sam Tarry was sacked because he booked himself on to media programmes without permission and then made up policy on the hoof"

Owen Jones proving he believes that abusive, aggressive and invasive behaviour is fine as long as you believe the ‘target’ deserves it.

I'm going to take an hour or so off Twitter just to calm down. Sorry to be so angry. I don't care if it's Keir Starmer, Steve Bray, Caroline Lucas or whoever. You don't go telling people to harass them on the street. Owen Jones has gone way to far with this.

Can you imagine if I tweeted this about Owen Jones? He'd be completely outraged.

It's clear incitement to harassment.

Really nasty stuff & given attacks on and murders of MPs in recent years it's completely disgraceful.

Why does the Guardian give this troll a platform? pic.twitter.com/KaJs4I1zQ3

Two MPs have been murdered in recent times, so for Owen Jones to encourage people to intimidate and film Starmer if they see him in the street is contemptible, even by his incredibly low standards.

You, @Keir_Starmer, are a liar, a conman, and a joke pic.twitter.com/8cDoUZTw1G

To avoid the most tedious people on the internet misconstruing what I said, I’ll rephrase it:

If Keir Starmer comes campaigning in your area, challenge him politely but robustly on the lies he said to become leader of the Labour Party. https://t.co/ysihTY35WI
— Owen Jones (@OwenJones84) July 27, 2022

Those seeking to conflate heckling a politician - one of the oldest, most basic forms of dissent that a democracy has - to violence are not only being cynical, they’re undermining democracy.

There’s nothing wrong with heckling politicians! https://t.co/7gBqGxqngY

The crew now running the Labour Party are just genuinely horrible people https://t.co/FZZnSePVOu

"Any Labour spokesperson on the media now has to explain why Labour’s pay policy seems to be “you should have a real-terms pay cut” and perhaps explains why no Labour shadow minister was available for media this morning"
