Hey, no big deal amirite? Just the owner of Twitter praising an infamous Roman general who took over the government and murdered thousands of people. No biggie. All you media orgs, just carry on like nothing’s wrong. Cool.

I'm not a Roman history buff, so can someone brush me up on this?

Sulla was the first Roman to sieze power by force and after doing so, mass executed his political opponents. He was a member of the Optimates party (traditionalists who favored the arristocrates) who initiated and won the first large-scale civil war in the history of the Roman Republic.
