Vox Senior Correspondent Ian Millhiser angered critics after posting and then deleting a prewritten obituary for Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito.
Web editor for Townhall, Rebecca Downs, tweeted, “Kudos to and for highlighting Ian Millhiser’s truly bizarre and deranged tweet about Justice Alito’s future obituary…”
In the since-deleted tweet, Millhiser wrote, “August is a slow month so I’m spending my morning updating some of my prewritten obituaries.”
Not all of the text was clear, but one line did show Millhiser wrote that it is “considered to be quite gauche to speak ill of the recently deceased.”
He added, “Samuel Alito, who died on XXXX, was not devoid of any positive traits,” and called him a “highly effective advocate for conservative causes.”
Derek Hunter reacted to the tweet, saying, “What a sick f***er Ian is, trying to inspire someone to murder a Supreme Court justice. Are we supposed to care if this backfires on him?”
Other Twitter users weighed in on Millhiser’s actions.
