An Evil Demigod in the White House

From the Daily Kos:

Rep. Clay Higgins, the deeply problematic Louisiana Republican, threatened to have anyone who he says “belittled the assassination of Charlie Kirk” banned from social media platforms.

“If they ran their mouth with their smartass hatred celebrating the heinous murder of that beautiful young man who dedicated his whole life to delivering respectful conservative truth into the hearts of liberal enclave universities, armed only with a Bible and a microphone and a Constitution… those profiles must come down,” Higgins wrote in a post on X of Kirk, who was gunned down on Wednesday at a college event in Utah. “So, I’m going to lean forward in this fight, demanding that big tech have zero tolerance for violent political hate content, the user to be banned from ALL PLATFORMS FOREVER.”

My comment: I do not condone violence of any kind. But Rep. Clay Higgins’ threats are as ironic as they can get, considering that such angry words actually further enflame and encourage some folks on the right to seek revenge, especially when many were already calling for “war.”
