'Take action!' Outrage as GOP lawmaker doubles down on calls for congresswoman's execution

Thirty statewide advocacy groups are urging the Republicans who lead the Arizona House of Representatives to take action against a GOP legislator who called for the execution of a Democratic congresswoman because she urged people upset with President Donald Trump to peacefully protest in the streets.

Kingman Republican Rep. John Gillette wrote on the social media site X on Sept. 25 that U.S. Rep. Pramila Jayapal, a Democrat from Washington, was calling for the government to be overthrown and should be hanged.

…

In an interview this week with the Arizona Republic, Gillette doubled down on his violent rhetoric, saying his only regret is that he should have said Jayapal should face a “firing squad” instead of being hanged to death.

2. outrageous on it's face and MAGAS will say he never said that

and if he did, he didn't mean it that way.

and if we said something like that they would have us arrested.

7. This loudly echoes Trump's own words and his online mafia hit list.

8. I think what he doesn't understand is that

our government has already been overthrown by MAGATS. Jayapal is too late. However, if he is looking for people guilty of treason in this coup, all he has to do is look in the mirror and turn on For Fucks Sake News.

9. No doubt Mr. Gillette calls himself a Christian

Who just happens to be filled with hatred and lust for murder.
