"More of this. May these people never know a moment of peace or safety until they rot in the ground," Caroline Reilly wrote in a now-deleted tweet Sunday evening, responding to a report from The New York Times about the vandalism.

"This feels a bit like calling for violence," Republican strategist Matt Whitlock wrote, tagging the Twitter Support team to alert them to Reilly's astonishing reaction.
