There May Be Riots if Republicans Fill Empty Seat Pre-Election

It’s difficult to know who first suggested rioting after Ginsburg’s death, but former CNN contributor and religion scholar Reza Aslan was certainly one of the first. Tweeted just minutes after news of Ginsburg death broke, his comment was subsequently retweeted nearly 13,000 times.

Other people expressed the same thought, albeit in a much gentler way. One of those was Amanda Litman, the co-founder and executive director of Run for Something, which recruits young progressives to run for political office. “May her memory be a revolution,” Litman tweeted, to which one of her followers replied with a call to riot.
