This is hard to believe — but all too true.

While many people were sharing their warm thoughts and memories of Rev. Billy Graham following his death yesterday at age 99, some were using the moment as a way to show just how vile they can really be.

One of those people was Teen Vogue liberal writer Lauren Duca.

“The big news today is that Billy Graham was still alive this whole time. Anyway, have fun in hell, b****,” she tweeted.

She later said in defense of her comments, “‘Respecting the dead’ only applies to people who weren’t evil pieces of s*** while they were living.”

People did not respond too kindly to Duca’s thoughts about a man who has changed literally millions of lives.

Later calling Graham “homophobic,” she said she was receiving death threats for her comments.

She also claimed the conservatives who were angry with her comments had no right to take the moral high ground.

How ironic, coming from someone behind such disgusting comments.
