Taking videos out of context and providing commentary to frame interpretation is a type of deception. There is a reason why that person was talking about MAPs. You may not agree, but it is irresponsible to not inform your audience of that reason.

Raichik *knew* that this video clip and her narration would lead to harassment.
If @libsotiktock and #chayaraichik cared about the harm they were doing, they would find ways to advocate for their positions without deceiving their audience and putting people in harm's way.

As a side note, the social media careers of James Lindsay, Chris Rufo, and Raichik illustrate how people will condone bad behavior and questionable character in a person if that person is advocating has the same political goals.
