Anti-Lockdown Protesters Now Calling for Dems to Die

https://www.thedailybeast.com/anti-lockdown-protesters-now-calling-for-dems-to-die

As the head of Cowboys for Trump, Couy Griffin has led pro-Trump horse rides through Washington, D.C., and posed for a photo in the White House with Donald Trump. He’s a superfan of the president and on May 17, he made the case that Democrats should die.

“I’ve come to a place where I’ve come to a conclusion where the only good Democrat is a dead Democrat,” Griffin said to cheers at a rally at a New Mexico church. He was there to defy a public safety order pertaining to the coronavirus.

Griffin, a county commissioner in the state, hastily added that he only meant Democrats who were dead in “the political sense”—an effort at cleanup he repeated in an interview with The Daily Beast on Tuesday.

“I could’ve chosen a different verbiage, you know. I guess I need to be more careful when I choose the words that I speak,” Griffin said. “But you know, it’s just so hypocritical of the left how they’re blowing this up, like I’m some hate-speech murderer.”

The old men talk about it in the doughnuts shops and liquor stores and the young ones name their targets at the range. In 2012 our range was the first in town to ban customers from bringing their own DISGUSTING targets. I think they discovered just how many Democratic members they had at that time.
