Republican Arizonan State Represenative Calls for WA Congresswoman to be Executed.

An Arizona Republican state lawmaker on Wednesday called for the execution of a Democratic congresswoman from Washington state because she urged people upset with President Donald Trump to protest in the streets.

Rep. John Gillette, R-Kingman, wrote on the social media site X that U.S. Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., was calling for the government to be overthrown and should be hanged.

“Until people like this, that advocate for the overthrow of the American government are tried convicted and hanged.. it will continue,” Gillette said in response to a video of Jayapal.

I don't care to much for some of Jayapal's far left politics.

But make no mistake. Gillette should be ARRESTED, held without bond and put on trial for calling for the assassination of a Member of the United States Congress.

Gillette shouldn't get a free pass to make comments that would get a normal person a visit from the FBI.

Jayapal is a fake democrat real socialist and does not have the interest on the United States top of mind. Anyone voting to reelect that failure are clearly people that don’t care about real facts.

She may very well be a socialist. But that doesn't give anyone, not you, me, and not an elected Arizona state rep the right to call for her execution.

I'd say the same thing about those calling for Republican representatives to be executed.

Gillette should be arrested and tried for calling for the assassination of a Member of Congress.

@beckyromero Forget it, you’re arguing with a cult member. Jack hates Jayapal, so he's fine with what Gillette said. If Jayapal had said the same thing about Gillette, he'd agree with you that she belongs in prison.

And yet @jackjjackson told me he voted for Obama - twice - and if given the chance to change his vote he would not.

Try to figure THAT out!

Mr Jackson was fooled by that hope and change message. Mr Jackson believes that Jayapal, Sandy Cortez, Crockett are lying socialists that need to be weeded out. The dems are too weak. The GOP will have to take care of it. @LeopoldBloom @beckyromero
