The conservative website Breitbart News deleted a tweet Sunday night that suggested Muslims will bring an end to the Super Bowl if they gain control of the United States.

The tweet was in the form of a discussion between a child who asks what the Super Bowl was, and a grandparent explaining why it was done away with.

Took screen shot, just in case, but I fear #Breitbart is well beyond the point of decency and shame that they would delete this insane tweet. #INTL4335 #Islamophobia pic.twitter.com/ipo1MhDmNI — Cas Mudde ⚒️ (@CasMudde) February 5, 2018

Breitbart was condemned for the tweet, and on Monday morning announced via Twitter that the deleted tweet did not meet its editorial standards.

This is not the first time Breitbart has faced criticism for anti-Muslim remarks made on its behalf. An editor said she was fired for anti-Muslim tweets she posted after the terrorist attack in London in June.
