An Arizona Republican state representative who has expressed support for January 6 insurrectionists on Wednesday called for a Democratic congresswoman to be executed, as a response to a video clip.
The comment on X by state representative John Gillette of Kingman, Arizona, first reported by the Arizona Mirror, was a reaction to a short clip drawn from a YouTube video in March by US representative Pramila Jayapal, a longtime Democratic congresswoman representing Washington state, entitled “The Resistance Lab.” In the video, Jayapal discusses preparations for street protests against the Trump administration.
“Until people like this, that advocate for the overthrow of the American government are tried, convicted and hanged … it will continue,” he posted.
Nothing in either the clip or the longer video actually suggests Jayapal is advocating for the overthrow of the US government. The video carries explicit calls for non-violent protest and discussed with alarm a rise in political violence in the US.
Dems need to demand that this TERRORIST be arrested. RESIST!
and a state REPRESENTATIVE no less, calling for the MURDER of anyone who exercises free speech in their resistance against a fascist regime that has ALREADY attempted to and CONTINUES to advocate for the overthrow of the American government?
I agree with you. This TERRORIST needs to be called out and arrested, but won't be of course... at least not while he is advocating for the current radical despot in office whom he supports in his attempts to overthrow the US government.
