Azealia Banks is no stranger to lashing out at other celebrities on Twitter, scorching earth along the way. Her latest target: Sarah Palin.
It all started when the rapper came across a fake news report about the former governor of Alaska defending slavery. The story included a made-up quote in which Palin said Black people "willingly accepted slavery." Banks took all this to be true.
What followed was a stream of angry tweets in which Banks more or less called for Palin to be gang-raped by a group of "burly" Black men. Whether you agree with GOP politics or not, supporting that sort of misogynistic venom is unthinkable.
Banks has since deleted the offensive tweets, but screenshots, via Mediaite, appear below.

Palin responded to the "bizarre, violent" tweets in a lengthy Facebook post, in which she expressed her disgust at this "anti-woman, pro-rape garbage."
