On Friday, Ian Millhiser, justice editor at the hard-left site Think Progress, who got his law degree from Duke University, decided to wax militant regarding Republicans, tweeting they should be confronted not only where they eat, but in their own bedrooms:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Tell me again why we shouldn't confront Republicans where they eat, where they sleep, and where they work until they stop being complicit in the destruction of our democracy. <a href="https://t.co/YEft6pmc7o">https://t.co/YEft6pmc7o</a></p>— Ian Millhiser (@imillhiser) <a href="https://twitter.com/imillhiser/status/1045740430229409793?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 28, 2018</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Millhiser’s belligerent militancy triggered this blunt and entirely logical response from Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Because if you confront me where I sleep -- in my own home -- it's not unlikely you get shot. <a href="https://t.co/iPwgwvEGbN">https://t.co/iPwgwvEGbN</a></p>— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) <a href="https://twitter.com/benshapiro/status/1045754164096118784?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 28, 2018</a></blockquote>

Shapiro was soon followed by others who took umbrage at the Think Progress editor. Some were measured in their response:

Others simply mocked Millhiser:
