Cher is getting death threats from Pepe-loving Trump fans

The nefarious Eye of Pepe has settled on Cher.
What sort of unsavoury characters would want to send death threats to pop legend and lovable Mom About Twitter Cher? Oh… it’s the racist 4chan teen congregation and Hillary bête noir that make up the ‘alt-right’, of course. Oh..forgot about them, at least for one blissful second. Who says there’s no such thing as good vs. evil?
In case you can’t read beautiful Cher-speak, she seems to be saying she’s weathering a tide of hateful messages and death threats. The tide of angry Trump-boosting teens apparently descended on the “Believe” singer after Cher took an interest in educating her 3.1 million followers about them, and their mascot Pepe the Frog (and not for the first time):
Normally, we could all safely ignore a bunch of dumbass, xenophobic white nationalists, but ever since they and their freakin’ frog coalesced around their dream candidate, we would all do well to follow Cher’s example and call them out whenever their acne-scarred mugs crop up:
Also, would parents everywhere please take their edgy teens’ wifi away so Cher can tweet in peace. Thanks in advance.
