Boiled down to a sticky toxic goo, today’s GOP is addicted to threatening violence.
Texas extremist Chip Roy calls for “alternative methods” to deal with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Warning in a letter to Speaker Pelosi that if she doesn’t “apologize immediately, we will be forced to find alternative means to condemn this regrettable statement.”
Of course, Roy is not going to say exactly what that means, but I think we all know this is a physical threat against her.
I am not sure at what point there is going to be an assassination attempt against AOC, but I’d say that I think it is more likely than not in the next two years.
These are horrible times. And the Republican leadership is completely fine with all of it.
