being 'facetious'

Republican congressional candidate Carl Paladino said on a radio show last week that U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland "probably should be executed" following the raid of Donald Trump's estate in Mar-a-Lago.

"... an administration with people like Garland, who should not only be impeached, he probably should be executed," Paladino told Breitbart Radio host Matthew Boyle. "The guy is just lost. He's a lost soul. He's trying to get an image, and his methodology is just terrible. To raid the home of a former president is just ... people are scratching their heads and they're saying, 'What is wrong with this guy?' "

The statement came about seven and a half minutes into the interview, which can be heard on the SoundCloud clip below.

When Paladino was asked by Boyle about two minutes later to explain what he meant by his execution comment, Paladino backtracked.

"I was just kidding". Standard fallback when they're called out on their bullshit.

1. After horrible abuse, abusers often say they were "just kidding."

It was all "just a joke."

And it is the victim's fault for not having a sense of humor.

2. Funny...I'm not scratching MY head...

Fvck you, Carl.

3. Oh, yeah. These guys are just a riot. It's such fun to call for the death of government officials.

4. How ignorant. This sort of language and rhetoric needs to stop, now. I hope someone reports him

to the FCC.

"I'm only kidding!".

I'm not laughing.

Well programmed, they are.

Miguel told Florida Politics Friday the suspension, which is “permanent” per a message he got on his Twitter app, “doesn’t affect (him) at all.” He stands by the proposal, which he says is justified because the IRS has been “weaponized by dissident forces.”

Miguel is still active on Instagram, where the post advocating shooting federal agents is still displayed, amid a host of other hateful graphics mourning the loss of confederate statues (“Southern memories,” he called them), advocating “complete enforcement” of the Stop Woke Act, and other such shout-outs to the populist right.

“They won’t take our AR-15s,” he vows on one post.

He also is still on Facebook. The same messages recur there.

7. Sort of like taking someone say a mythical government official

to the firing squad and then saying oops we just meant to fire you from your job!

8. He mispronounced fascist

[Metaphorical]

10. The sentencing will probably go something like:

Paladino: "Seriously, your honor. When I said that Garland should be executed, I was being facetious!"
Judge: "Oh, all right then. You're free to go."
Paladino: "Really?!"
Judge: "No, of course not. I was being facetious. We're locking you up for ten years. Next case ..."
