Pro-Trump Candidate Calls for Executing Parents of LGBTQ+ Kids

The Trump-endorsed Republican candidate in South Carolina’s 4th Congressional District called for the arrest and execution of those who advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and the protection of trans children.

During an appearance on The Stew Peters Show, Pastor Mark Burns was asked by host Jane Ruby to commit to voting for transphobic laws that target LGBTQ+ children and their parents and ending what she called “this war on children.” Burns went much further than committing to voting for legislation.

“Not only will I vote to make sure that those parents be held for child abuse because there’s no such thing as trans kids, only abusive parents, period,” Burns responded adding that trans-supportive parents are unnaturally influencing their children’s development.

“I want to make sure that those parents are being held accountable,” Burns continued. “We should start putting some of those parents in jail for abusing their child’s minds, and especially in the school system. Any teacher is [sic] teaching that LGBT, transgenderism, flurries [sic], the groomers, any sexual orientation communication in the school system should be immediately terminated but also be held for abusing young children. Our children should not be born to be indoctrinated. That is 1922 Nazi Germany all over again.”

Yeah, sure. But he will want them in his fucking church as soon as possible, that’s for sure.

Indoctrinated my white, puffy backside.

Orphan kids who can't help the way they were born.

Just a tiny bit of sarcasm here. Clearly that person has zero understanding of anything at all having to do with LGBTQ.

A sidebar. I recently met my first trans man, and I'm quite honored to know him. I also know exactly one trans woman. Well, it's possible I know more trans men and trans women than that, but they don't find it necessary to announce this to everyone they meet.

His so-called "platform" needs to be treated as terrorist threats, and he needs to be hauled off in handcuffs. NOW.

And, no... This is not "freedom of speech." How long would it take for me to be arrested if I ran for office on a platform of "Executing all cishets" or "Executing Republicans"? I'm guessing that could be measured in seconds.

Fuck Mark bin Laden and his qult of hate and violence. Fuck the QOP.

were aware of the threat we're facing this fall. So many people don't get it. It takes a candidate like this--who is too dumb to hide his true opinions--to jolt people awake. But the vast majority of magats feel the same way.

are calling for people who disagree with them to be killed ?

I am very concerned for the future of this country. I do believe that a civil war is not a fiction. It will start with McVeigh-like behavior and spread from there. Look at what almost went down in Coeur d'Alene. These people are so filed with hate, it is eating them.

Buckle up America, it's going to be a bumpy ride.

(Thanks, trump.)
