The former POTUS incited supporters to threaten to kill my children and put their "heads on spikes"

Commissioner Al Schmidt
@Commish_Schmidt
.@LeaderMcConnell The former POTUS incited supporters to threaten to kill my children and put their “heads on spikes” because we counted votes cast by eligible voters. They named my children and included my home address in the threats. Please consider when voting your conscience.

Arrested Trump supporter (white idiot) threatened Mitch McConnell’s grandkids on Parler: DOJ
- February 09, 2021

On Monday, George Washington University Program on Extremism analyst Seamus Hughes reported that the FBI has arrested Brad Houck, an Oklahoma Trump supporter who has made public death threats against a number of government officials on Facebook and alternative social-media site Parler.

According to the complaint, Houck targeted Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and his family, writing on Parler, "hey mitch, how are your grandkids doing?" He also went after Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, saying, "Hey justice Roberts, we are coming for you and your illegal adopted kids!! finished! they will get to watch you hang"

McConnell has no conscience.

I think he said it was a vote of conscience, and he wasn't going to try to influence senators one way or another. Not very many seem to have a conscience. We'll see how they vote.
