Right-wing conspiracy theorist Mike Cernovich scored one of his biggest victories when he helped get James Gunn fired from Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy“ franchise by highlighting old tweets in which Gunn joked about rape and pedophilia. But as many of Gunn’s defenders have noted, Cernovich has his own history of tweets about rape.
Many of the tweets predate Cernovich gaining online fame as a Trump superfan and purveyor of the discredited Pizzagate theory of 2016, which falsely claimed that a Washington, D.C. pizzeria fronted a child-sex ring.
Many of Cernovich’s tweets have been deleted, but are still available through internet archive sites.
