OAN Goes Full Fascist, Calls for Mass Executions Over 'Election Fraud'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

One America News personality Pearson Sharp unleashed an openly fascistic fantasy this week, calling for the mass executions for thousands of Americans based on his belief in the outright false claim that widespread voter fraud amounted to a “coup” against former president Donald Trump.

Since last November’s election, in which Joe Biden handily defeated Trump, OAN has led the charge in peddling unhinged conspiracy theories in order to push the ex-president’s “Big Lie” that the election was stolen from him. In recent weeks, the fringe network has sponsored the so-called Arizona election “audit,” with OAN host Christina Bobb fundraising for the effort while also serving as a legal adviser to Trump.

The GOP-led recount in Arizona—a state Biden narrowly won—has led right-wing media figures to push for other audits in battleground states that Trump lost, resulting in the false belief that the ex-president will eventually be reinstated this summer. (Trump has, naturally, latched onto this insane theory.)

During an on-air essay that first aired Tuesday night, Sharp—who has repeatedly lied about the 2020 election and Jan. 6 insurrection—embraced these latest attempts to discredit Biden’s victory to call for harsh retribution against Democrats.

1. Well the only ones engaged in election fraud are republicans.

So will this be a circular firing squad or hari-kari.

[FalloutShelter]

2. Why does the network still have

an operating license?

[SheltieLover]

3. If they are a cable company, I don't think there is a license

Perhaps that should change!

This is much worse than yelling "fire!"

[FalloutShelter]

5. Could be wrong but so thought

Even cable nets need an FCC license to broadcast.

I don’t understand why there is zero accountability.
In the UK, FOX news was barred from broadcast.

[SheltieLover]

7. Wise decision by UK!

I wish they would ban them in States!

[Brother Buzz]

9. FCC only regulates over-the-air broadcasting

[FalloutShelter]

10. Okay... thanks.

[IrishAfricanAmerican]

14. We probably need...

a new department to regulate cable/internet, etc.

[Brother Buzz]

17. I kinda want to agree, BUT...

it's a slippery slop we may not want to go down.

[IrishAfricanAmerican]

19. Yeah, I know.

Maybe updating current speech laws to some degree... slippery slope, I know.

smh...

[Mister Ed]

4. Traitors who tried to overthrow the election are asking...

...what should happen to traitors who try to overthow an election.

"What are the consequences for traitors who meddled with our sacred democratic process and tried to steal power by taking away the voices of the American people?"

“Well, in the past, America had a very good solution for dealing with such traitors: Execution,” he bluntly declared.

Be careful what you wish for, Mr. Sharp.

[Mr. Ected]

6. Contesting an outcome is as American as apple pie

Doing so to undermine democracy should lead to the Ethel and Julius Rosenberg outcome.

[Initech]

8. They have a seriously unhealthy obsession with seeing people being executed, don't they?

[dhol82]

11. I hope there is good security for our democratic legislators.

I can see these freaks targeting people.

[moondust]

12. Incitement?

Is that legal on a private cable channel whose audience is the public?

[roamer65]

13. Time to shut OAN down.

Open incitement to violence is not free speech.

[colsohlibgal]

15. Yes Time To Silence Them

Hope it actually happens.

We are so close to sliding down the rabbit hole. In the end it didn’t work out well for Hitler or Mussolini but they caused so much death and destruction with their need to conquer and vanquish the “Other”, chiefly Jewish Folks.

Think about that Ron DeSantis and other Trump types. DeSantis is scary, Trump like but smarter, a low bar to be sure but alarming.

16. What should the penalty be for lying about election fraud?

[Xavier Breath]

18. He gonna start with Pence?

Everyone knows it's all his fault.
