An MSNBC contributor is calling for "pitchforks and torches" outside the home of a billionaire supporter of President Trump.

The threat from Elie Mystal drew a response from the Gateway Pundit: "MSNBC does not seem like they will be satisfied until they get someone killed. They are inciting people to violence on a near daily basis."

The Washington Free Beacon reported Mystal targeted billionaire Stephen Ross.

"People of color are already targets under this administration," Mystal claimed on the air. "I have no problem on shining the light back on the donors who fund this kind of racialized hate. I mean I go further. I want pitchforks and torches outside this man's house in the Hamptons."

He continued: "I've been to the Hamptons, it's very nice. There's no reason it has to be. There's no reason he should be able to have a nice little party. There's no reason why people shouldn't be able to be outside of his house and making their voices peacefully understood."

MSNBC host Chris Hayes then described the mob that threatened Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in a near-riot outside his home as "peaceful protests."

Twitter suspended the campaign account for McConnell after video of the threats against his life were posted online.

In the video, one protester shouted "just stab the mother f------ in the heart, please."

Hayes said: "I imagine there will be peaceful protests outside this which is, again it's all speech, right, peaceful protest, the right to assembly under the First Amendment, that is the way that — because your point here is how does civil society deal with what we're seeing?"
