Every tweet requires a larger context, that's the point) but I don't see what punishment she was advocating for him other than a sound talking to. But, hey, there are some loonies out there, thanks for the reminder. My biggest pet peeve on the left are definitely some of the "Bernie Bro" types, who regularly yell "neoliberal tool" at me, but I'm not going to glorify them by suggesting they have the ability to cancel jack shit, they're mostly just annoying.
Shor is brilliant. If you aren't reading Shor, read him. Something good comes of this if more people read Shor.
