Republican congressman warns 'more people will die' over false claims of 2020 election fraud after

call for executions airs on pro-Trump media outlet

False claims of systemic fraud in the 2020 election will result in blood being spilled, a Republican congressman warned Thursday.

Earlier in the week, the far-right One America News Network aired a segment in which a host erroneously claimed there were people involved in a conspiracy related to the 2020 election. "What happens to them? Well, in the past, America had a very good solution for dealing with such traitors: executions."

There is no evidence of a mass conspiracy around the 2020 election, which President Joe Biden won.

Rep. Peter Meijer, a Michigan Republican who was first elected to the US Congress in 2020, denounced that rhetoric as obscene and dangerous.

The FBI has been good at infiltration and The AG has made it clear they are the focus.

So they will be infiltrated more.

I hope I’m not the only one seeing the irony of the FBIs’ 50-70 years ago infiltration of Civil Rights groups trying to make us more just to now doing the same against those trying wreck our democracy.

… is that we actually need agencies like the FBI — and the CIA and the police. And all of them need fierce oversight from everyone else.

to quote my neighbor " to get this country back on the right track". Hard to believe they think a civil war pitting
reQublicans against Democrats would actually help this country.

"second inauguration" in August. I know he's got them confused, though. He's planning on touring with Bill O'Reilly in December and they believe he should be at his desk in the Oval Office then. Sometimes it feels like the whole country has been locked in a 19th century insane asylum and someone lost the key to get out.
