Clarke also posted this crime against democracy and Photoshop. He (or someone who works with him) took an old wrestling photo and awkwardly photoshopped Clarke’s face onto a guy kicking another guy, whose head has been crudely replaced by the CNN logo. Holding him in place is a third wrestler, and he’s got Trump’s head. And as if that blunt, ham-fisted imagery wasn’t clear, he made what amounts to a threat of violence against that one particular media organization.

People on Twitter exercised their right to point out the myriad ways in which they found Clarke and his rhetoric to be obnoxious, offensive, and terrible.
I thought you were a man of the law. Clearly, you’re just a snowflake.

A real tough guy hiding behind Twitter and a bad photoshop job. I’d like to see you say that to @wolfblitzer ‘s face! He’d roundhouse your ass! #wolf

They're inching closer and closer to main-stream calls for violence.

The classic irony here: America’s Dumbest Fake Cowboy picked America’s Dumbest Fake Sport to show his fake manliness.
You know wrestling is fake, Dave, yes?

You do know you're not supposed to actually hit someone in a political disagreement right? You're not "fighting" there is no blood. Might want to sit out the next one champ.

In response to the criticism, Clarke pulled the old “you triggered, snowflake?” routine. Ugh.
Nothing like getting under the skin of lefties like I did today. I fight to win. You come at me libs you better bring a hard hat, some aspirin and your veggie wrap because it’s going to be a long day and I’m going to smack you around until you crawl back to your mom’s basement. pic.twitter.com/CgmrRiBp8Y
