Well, there’s nothing like advocating for the abrogation of the Constitution in defense of a corrupt felon to get you a nomination for the Earl Landgrebe award:
An Arizona Republican lawmaker on Wednesday called for the execution of a Democratic congresswoman because she urged people upset with President Donald Trump to protest in the streets.
Kingman[, Arizona] Republican Rep. John Gillette wrote on the social media site X that U.S. Rep. Pramila Jayapal, a Democrat from Washington, was calling for the the government to be overthrown and should be hanged.
“Until people like this, that advocate for the overthrow of the American government are tried convicted and hanged.. it will continue,” Gillette said in response to a video of Jayapal. [AZ Mirror]
Note that Mr Gillette is a Representative in the Arizona House of Representatives.
And maybe Jayapal did?
The post Gillette responded to claimed that Jayapal was making a call to violence because she said protesters should be “strike ready” and “street ready.” The Arizona Mirror watched the video in its entirety and found no calls to violence or advocating for overthrowing the government; it was focused on “non-violent resistance” to Trump and advising people on how to do that.
Yeah, this sounds more like an attention-craving move, which makes it twice as bad.
