Rep. Paul Gosar said that the “homosexual-promoting” general “would be hung” in a better society.

Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) called for the execution of General Mark Milley, the chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in a homophobic tirade this weekend.

In his newsletter this weekend – published to his Congressional website – Gosar accused Milley of being a “homosexual-promoting-BLM-activist” who delayed the military’s response to the January 6 riot. An election denier, Gosar has in the past claimed that he “started the revolution,” referring to the insurrection.

    The guy running against Gosar having all of Gosar’s immediate family in an ad saying Gosar sucks will always be one of my favorite campaign ads.

    who delayed the military’s response to the January 6 riot.

    So Jan 6th was a riot now? And those were in fact insurrectionists?

      It was a riot caused by anitfa pretending to be good upstanding Trump supporters on a tour of Congress.

      I believe that covers all the bullshit excuses these fuckle heads have come up.

    So … Milley is a “BLM activist” (etc.) … who delayed the miltary’s response to Jan 6? That doesn’t even make any sense.

        Ohhh you meant if GOP Congressman Crazypants was trying to pretend it was antifa. I was confused. Let me try and get it straight:

        Milley, a BLM activist, delayed the military response to Jan 6, because the real perpetrators were antifa, and he wanted to protect them so that they could make the right wing look bad by … doing exactly what the right wing wanted done?

    Neither Gosar nor Trump have served in the military.

    That pretty much goes without saying, but bears repeating anyway.

    Republicans love America so much that they want to murder it’s top military leader.

    Wait are there no hate crimes on the federal level?

    I thought there was actual legal reason they don’t loudly proclaim their homophobic tendencies.

    would be hung

    This is the the Free speech the right so desperately fights to say in the internet discourse. Either thinly veiled threats or dogwhistles.

    Unfortunately for them such speech has consequences for them outside of their small bubbles.

    Is sodomy that thing Paul Gosar’s mom does nightly with the entire town?

    Edit: my mistake, it’s called ‘Bingo’
