BULLSHIT. Back peddle all you wish. I am hoping the FBI visits you soon. They will be there fully armed as your threat is against the AG of the United States. Hope the arrest you.
Carl meant every word he said. He wasn't being factious. He said he thought the AG of the US should not only be impeached but "executed".
BUFFALO, New York A Republican candidate for Congress in western New York said in a radio interview that US Attorney General Merrick Garland should be executed for authorizing a search of former President Donald Trumps home, before clarifying later in the show that he wasnt being serious, Buffalo-area businessman Carl Paladino made the comment in an interview with Breitbart News Saturday on Aug. 13. During the interview, Paladino was criticizing President Joe Biden for what he said was a lack of leadership and disengagement from government.
So we have a couple of unelected people who are running our government, in an administration of people like Garland, who should be not only impeached, he probably should be executed, Paladino said. The guy is just lost. Hes a lost soul. Hes trying to get an image, and his image, his methodology is just terrible. To raid the home of a former president is just people are scratching their heads and theyre saying, What is wrong with this guy?
A short time later in the interview, host Matthew Boyle pressed Paladino about what he meant when he said that Garland should be executed.
Im just being facetious. The man should be removed from office, Paladino said. He shows his incompetence. He wants to get his face in front of the people and show hes got some mettle to him, but his choice of issues and choice of methodology is very sad.

Stochastic terrorism is not just for Trump. Didn't Sarah Palin start this with the bullseye on Giffords and Sarah's violent rhetoric?
