Republican Extremists Edging Closer To Violence

 

The seditious, treasonous Republican Party and its frothing Falangists, ladies and gentlemen:

The Arizona Republican Party late Monday asked supporters if they were willing to give their lives in the fight over the results of the presidential election.

The party retweeted right-wing activist Ali Alexander's promise that he is "willing to give my life for this fight."

"He is. Are you?" the state GOP added.

 Here's the tweet (until someone scrubs it):

Knowing that the chairperson of the Arizona Republican Party is extreme crackpot Kelli Ward, who fits in with other Arizona seditionists and professional "patriots", that tweet is completely in character. You can be assured she'll face no repercussions for this incitement to violence from fellow banana Republicans.  But perhaps a visit from the FBI or Secret Service might be forthcoming.

Meanwhile, in Michigan, other violence- minded Trumpers weren't just having armed demonstrations at the Secretary of State's house.  They had other public officials to harass and intimidate:

Hours after Michigan state Rep. Cynthia A. Johnson blasted Republicans for inviting President Trump’s personal attorney, Rudolph W. Giuliani, to hold a hearing last week with supposed witnesses of voter fraud, the Democratic lawmaker’s phone began ringing nonstop.

Over two days, Johnson, who is Black, received nearly 100 calls from angry Trump supporters, according to a Facebook post with 10 screenshots of the incoming calls, which she called “a sampling.” She had been doxed, she said, and now her harshest critics had a direct line to aim their racist threats.

“You should be swinging from a f------ rope, you Democrat,” one woman said in a voice mail laced with racial slurs, according to Johnson’s Facebook post linking to a recording of the message.

Needless to say, these vicious morons need to be located and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law before this bullshit gets even further out of hand.
