Rep. Paul Gosar said that the “homosexual-promoting” general “would be hung” in a better society.

Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) called for the execution of General Mark Milley, the chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in a homophobic tirade this weekend.

In his newsletter this weekend – published to his Congressional website – Gosar accused Milley of being a “homosexual-promoting-BLM-activist” who delayed the military’s response to the January 6 riot. An election denier, Gosar has in the past claimed that he “started the revolution,” referring to the insurrection.

    Wait are there no hate crimes on the federal level?

    I thought there was actual legal reason they don’t loudly proclaim their homophobic tendencies.

      Not sure if it fits this context, but politicians are pretty much able to say whatever the fuck they want during session.

      The idea was someone can’t say “the president is fucking shit up” and get thrown in jail.

      The reality is shitty politicians use to say shit like this.

        Yeah, I thought our founding fathers were pretty hard-core in their campaign trail slander. Stuff like buggery, syphilis, etc.
