“Rachel Riley tweets that Corbyn deserves to be violently attacked because he is a Nazi.
“This woman is as dangerous as she is stupid. Nobody should engage with her. Ever.”
But Ms Riley said her own post, which quoted a tweet from left-wing commentator Owen Jones, was not a reference to Mr Corbyn and should not be interpreted to mean the Labour leader himself was a Nazi and deserved to be egged.
She said Ms Murray’s tweet about her was an “appalling distortion of the truth.”
Ms Murray subsequently deleted her tweet.
The JC reported in March that Ms Riley had instructed Mark Lewis, who came to prominence representing the victims of phone hacking, to pursue the claim.
