“If they don’t change the statute… they should be shot.” Based on the liberal mainstream media’s usual narrative you might guess those words were said by some mean conservative; however, you would be wrong. Those violence-inciting words were proclaimed with apparent pleasure by a leftist pundit on a taxpayer-funded PBS channel—and to make it worse, the PBS host, Ted Simons, not only failed to rebuke the comment, he can be heard chuckling at it. Watch the exchange here.
Leftist activist and political commentator, Chris Herstam, was speaking about Republican lawmakers when he decided to threaten them. Many of our state legislators and our governor are people I know. I know many of their spouses and children as well. I am currently a Republican candidate for the Arizona House of Representatives. This is personal for me.
At a time when tensions are running high, society is quarantined in a near lockdown, and Republicans are focused on solving real issues to help the American people, there is absolutely zero room for such disgusting, dangerous rhetoric.
