[1]U.S. Senator Chris Murphy
The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of
Congress to be executed.
This is not normal. We cannot allow this to feel normal.
This, as far as I know, has never happened before in the history of the
country. Every Democratic member of the Senate and the House’s life is in
jeopardy right now — especially those who were specifically targeted by
this social media post. They are Democratic veterans and former
intelligence officials who were simply saying that no member of the
military should act illegally or in violation of the Constitution.
Let this really sink in: The President of the United States just called
for members of Congress to be executed.
If you are a person of influence in this country, maybe it’s time to pick
a f***ing side.
If you are a Republican in Congress, if you are a Republican governor,
maybe it’s time to draw a line in the sand. It’s time to say that, under
no circumstances, should the President of the United States be calling for
his political opposition to be hanged.
We are at a very dangerous moment. The president is engaged in the
wholesale incitement, endorsement and rationalization of political
violence in this country.
We are on a very slippery slope.
This is a moment for people to step up, for Republicans to step up, for
business leaders to step up.
Anybody who has a voice or a soapbox in this country needs to draw a line
in the sand and say that it is not acceptable for the president of the
United States to call for the murder of his political opposition.
Chris Murphy
