Oklahoma GOP Chair John Bennett, who is running for Congress, said he wants to put Dr. Anthony Fauci in front of a firing squad ― and the crowd at a campaign event clapped and cheered.
Were fighting communist Democrats, establishment RINOs! Bennett ranted in a video that Right Wing Watch shared online Tuesday, which has now gone viral.
Were fighting against a system that stole the election in 2020 and nobody had been held accountable, Bennett continued, parroting former President Donald Trumps baseless election fraud claims. Were in a war with bureaucrats that have forced vaccine mandates on us, mask mandates on us.
Bennett then railed against something he described as wokeness confusion, which he alleged is being pushed down our throats now.

(22,495 posts)I remember this right winged email from years ago saying how if you didint smack your kid when he did wrong he would grow up to be a ward of the state ------ some shit like that. They value violence as is evident by what they showcase in their family photos.

I remember a few years ago I believe it was on CBS Sunday morning where they did a piece on how the state of Oklahoma was trying to entice new young people to move there and settle there. There were all sorts of incentives. I wonder if young people were smart enough not to want to live in a state like that and they were desperate. I also wonder how that worked out - whether it was effective or whether most young professionals said, "forget that. I wouldn't live in that hell hole."

Were fighting against a system Constitutionally established, and none of us have been held accountable,
Were in a war with reality that has forced us to face vaccine mandates and mask mandates, not compassion or truth..
Cough, cough, choke, gag, "It is so big" say the reality deniers complaining about their sucky lives and lost souls.

(1,304 posts)which I do, but the events of the last several years have made this so commonplace we need some new words to describe this type of behavior.
Sure, there's abominable, creepy, distasteful, hateful, loathsome, obnoxious, odious, repugnant, shameless, vulgar... but so what, they and all words similar have completely lost their impact.

These idiots should think about what they are asking for, it can just as easily be applied to them.

(15,552 posts)As far as I know, nothing has ever happened to the people. I wonder if I were to call anyone up and threaten to kill them or their family if the police would look the other way and let it ride? I highly doubt it. I still say there are way too many of these RWNJ's infiltrating the police forces and military, oh, and courts too.
Our society has sunk to new lows and it all began that slow degradation with the rise of you-know-who.

(50,562 posts)The State of Texas once distributed a list of all the last meal requests made between the time they started lethal injection and the time they quit allowing inmates to choose last meals - they stopped when someone requested a huge last meal and didnt eat it. A lot of inmates requested cigarettes, and they were always denied.

(23 posts)if we continue to let this kind of behavior persist and stand then it will get worse. It seems that Law Enforcement is not treating this serious until somebody is hurt.

(100,100 posts)Is definitely something to be concerned about. And it should be called out everywhere how completely narcissistic, twisted, and deranged this kind of behavior is. This is not how a normal person behaves.
