I did enjoy seeing the Tories lose their minds over this, even though they tried to dismiss one of their own donates doing the exact same thing.

The Tories and Jo Cox's husband.
They stated that "an extract of footage, deliberately taken out of all context, is now being exploited and weaponised, as if it were a call to action".
So what do they claim was the context?
Their personas and performances are definitely tongue-in-cheek. No-one (not already on a watchlist) who attended those events would come away with the impression they were actually inciting murder.
However they recently called out Israel at a major American event, and so the bot farms are in furious overdrive to amplify any clippable moment.
I imagine they'll say:
We were just messing. You know. Calling for our boyos to murder one of your MPs. But just for the craic, like. No offence.
Did they say the only good Tory is a dead Tory? Those are like the right wing fucks, right?
