Pistols at dawn maybe?

Such threats against the current POTUS go almost unnoticed...

Washington (CNN)A Florida Republican congressional hopeful who apparently called for Rep. Ilhan Omar and other Democrats to be hanged in a fundraising email has been removed from a GOP initiative that supports candidates.

There goes his claim to be pro-life.

Republicans are only pro-life up until the point one is born. After birth, you can be executed.

As George Carlin joked, they want "live babies to grow up to be dead soldiers".

If we were smart we'd execute them all.

Oh wait, there's a black SUV out front and two men in suits approaching the door

I saw "Florida man" and "GOP candidate" in the title and knew that nothing in the OP was going to shock me.

I was right.

There are some things that are dead giveaways:

1. A nation whose official name starts with "Democratic Republic of --------" is actually a dictatorship.

2.You hear "I don't have a racist bone in my body but --------"
will be followed by totally racist remark.

3. You see Donald Trumps mouth moving so he is either bragging about himself or telling another lie.

What would be the difference?

Honestly, I thought we were talking about 2 people.

That wouldn't have surprised me, either...

it's not just the "great" minds that think alike.

From the Link:

It is unclear who the other “traitors” are, but the email spotlights the man Buck is challenging, U.S. Rep. Charlie Crist, as well as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and freshmen U.S. Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib. Along with Omar, the three women of color are often singled out by President Donald Trump as political enemies.

When reached for comment Tuesday morning, Buck said he didn’t write the email and that fundraising pitches are sent by his campaign manager, whom he declined to name.

“That was not me. I did not see that," Buck said. "I would never talk like that.”

.....Later in the day, Buck sent the Tampa Bay Times a lengthy statement that appeared to stand by the fundraising email.
​

Interesting.

This I find interesting:

From the link:

Like Stella, Buck referenced an unverified story that Omar is an asset of Qatar who passed information to Iran.
​

Kinbd of reminded me of when the President was considered a Russian asset; Example: What If Trump Has Been a Russian Asset Since 1987?

or when this happened:

Opinion | What the Tulsi Gabbard-Hillary Clinton spat gets wrong about "Russian assets"

I don't think it has any deep meaning, just find it interesting that the "asset" accusation is now being used across the board.

You may want to brush up on your McCarthyism.
