Reza Aslan was fired by CNN a few years ago for saying vile things about Trump and apparently, he hasn’t learned his lesson.
He is still firing off dangerous and hate filled screeds on Twitter.
What he is saying is an obvious incitement of violence.
From Human Events:
Reza Aslan Calls For Genocide Against Trump Supporters.
CNN contributor and liberal intellectual Reza Aslan is calling for the “eradication” of Trump supporters. In a series of aggressive tweets directed toward the President and those who voted for him, Aslan remarked – in response to the mass shooting in El Paso – that President Donald Trump “is a white nationalist terror leader.”
Arguing that there was “no longer any room for nuance” – words that are remarkably similar to Dayton shooter Connor Betts’ calls for violence on Twitter – Reza openly called for the genocide of Trump supporters.
“The President is a white nationalist terror leader. His supporters – ALL OF THEM – are by definition white nationalist terror supporters. The MAGA hat is a KKK hood. And his evil, racist scourge must be eradicated from society.”
See his tweets below:
So then when @KellyannePolls said we need to “eradicate” this evil she meant shoot it in the face? She was threatening the El Paso shooter? We are all so fucking fed up with you racist GOPers and your bad faith bullshit. https://t.co/kXFcoGVzF2

After today there is no longer any room for nuance. The President is a white nationalist terror leader. His supporters – ALL OF THEM – are by definition white nationalist terror supporters. The MAGA hat is a KKK hood. And this evil, racist scourge must be eradicated from society.

Some people are calling him out for this:
Reza Aslan is either dangerously stupid, inciting violence
Or he is intentionally lying and misleading people using bad faith tactics to promote violence.Either way, how does twitter allow this but you can't tweet about voter ID or learning to code? pic.twitter.com/mwscifYjvJ
