Indeed, it was she who incited violence. Edit: downvotes yet this is patently true. She ordered her followers to "get him" in reference to Milo. Edit 2: I was mistaken about the individual she directed her followers to "get", it was a user by the handle of @whitebecky1776. Edit3: I stand by my claim of her incitement to violence.

Imagine how much worse they’re going to get when the passive aggressive manipulation tactics stop working because the guy can get himself off with a thinner, hotter robot any time he wants to. They’re going to go mental. I'm sorry but pretending Milo isn't sexist is like pretending water isn't wet.

Citing the tweets is difficult. The account is suspended, making its tweets unavailable, and most of the news articles which quoted them did so using the Twitter embed API, which went dark along with the original tweets. Vox has some screenshots in this article, though: http://www.vox.com/2016/7/20/12226070/milo-yiannopoulus-twitter-ban-explained http://www.vox.com/2016/7/20/12226070/milo-yiannopoulus-twit...
