It’s rare, if not unprecedented, for Breitbart News to tweet something so racist or offensive that the outlet ends up deleting it.

But that happened Sunday night, after Breitbart tweeted out a joke apparently suggesting that in the future Muslims will have taken over the United States and ended the Super Bowl.

Here’s a screenshot of the tweet:

After receiving a fair amount of blowback, Breitbart deleted the offending tweet, and issued another one stating it “did not meet our editorial standards.”

We have deleted a tweet that did not meet our editorial standards. — Breitbart News (@BreitbartNews) February 5, 2018

Though this might be the first mea culpa Breitbart has issued regarding a tweet, it isn’t the first time the outlet’s editorial content has drawn outrage.

Aside from having a “black crime” tag which collected stories of crime committed by African Americans, the website was once deemed the “platform for the alt-right” by now-ousted chairman Steve Bannon.

The most stunning indictment of the website’s editorial direction, however, was a Buzzfeed expose that revealed how former editor Milo Yiannopoulos — with the help of Bannon and other editors at the website — watered-down racist and white supremacist views to feed them to Breitbart’s audience.
