Arrest and jail each one. Don't make death threats at people.
Yeah, the justice department has been really lax with this stuff. AFAIK that's not protected speech, and if you start jailing the first ones it'll stop. Stirring up hate towards someone to the point they get death threats has become a normalised part of the discourse on the right now.
Even a statement of "authorities are working on tracking these people down to charge them" would scare a lot of these people off.
A.G. Garland is a conservative. Trusting a conservative to act in good faith as A.G. was a huge error in judgement by this administration. That error has come very close to costing us our democracy.
A conservative should absolutely never be granted any position of authority. A conservative does not have a moral compass and can only act to benefit themselves or their in-group.
Definitely agree. Democrats have been afflicted with centrist West Wing brain where they'll give the reigns of the justice department, FBI, CIA and military to Republicans because they hope that'll make Republicans respect them more or something? It's just a constant barrage of own goals. Even the guy that was supposed to investigate Trump was a Republican that had been a member of his golf course.
Law enforcement pretty much always sides with Trump supporters on this stuff so I wouldn't hold your breath. If this woman died, most cops would probably laugh.

There's over 450 January 6 idiots sitting in jail who used to believe that is true.
Was it "the radical left" ?
What's that? No, it wasn't? Again? Huh
Must have been “Blue MAGA”
Magtifa
Blue maga was made up by maga as an attempt at a pejorative and to downplay their own insanity.
Sounds like terrorism. Maybe Muslim terrorists?
It's the transgender Muslim terrorists leftists.
Totally non-weird response to a journalist asking questions.
Cultists radicalized into terrorists.
I woke up to a response from someone who asked me why I had to make "everything" about racism.
This is why.
Pointing out racism is not you making everything about racism, it's there being a lot of racist shit.
this is not meant ironically, i'm so tired, boss. this shit needs to stop. as human beings can we collectively hate something other than ourselves? like maybe we can start hating methane with the same furvor.../i wish it were snark
republicans sending death threats to a black woman for holding a racist to account? on brand.
Like... I hate to say this... But no shit... We all knew this was going to happen as soon as the interview was planned in the first place
Really fucking weird.
Hey fellas, is it weird to send death threats to a news station for not asking trump softball questions and kissing his butt? 🤔
Next thing, you're gonna tell me that water is wet.
Water isn’t wet. Wetness is a property that occurs when a liquid adheres to a solid surface due to cohesive and adhesive forces. Water molecules exhibit hydrogen bonding, creating a network, but they themselves aren’t ‘wet’ until they interact with another material.
Counterpoint: water is wet because it is the wet.
A powerful example of such a scenario is this quote from the philosopher, Batman:
"I am vengeance! I am the night! I.am.BATMAN!"
What this proves is shut up, water is wet. 😡
If there is water, and no one is around to be wet… is it still wet?
Let's all just agree that water is moist. Oceans of moisture.
My bear just shit a brick!
Interesting, but pedantic.
Hmm yes, shallow and pedantic.
So you’re saying wet is water.
No. It is the essence of wetness.
Imagine if Trump said that this is not acceptable... But guess who keeps his mouth shut instead.
Lmao of course she did, what else can you expect talking to the dopey leader of a cult of FUCKING WEIRDOS.
Those f'ing weirdos
Ever since the pan. Everything was already terrible, but then the hinges broke. The crazy really took over. And this is where we are. Fucking stochastic terrorism with heaps of actual terrorism. They just don't have any boundaries anymore. Or sense of decency. Or shame. Fuck the right.
There was a time when the conservatives would have just actually lynched her. That's what they refer to as "the good ol' days".
Yup. “Make America great again” is code for “I preferred it when we could lynch black people for literally anything.”
Faermongering thugs. Can you imagine what they're doing to Vance's wife?
They're in favor of a free press, except if that press isn't in support of their political agenda. Then all of a sudden that free press isn't supposed to be so free.
If the freedom you want has a required political position, it's not freedom that you want.
Just like how they only use “free speech” to defend the indefensible things they say. Because they can’t actually justify the things they say, so they fall back to “well you technically can’t stop me from saying it.” The “free speech” defense is just about the lowest bar you could find, and if you’re using it you should seriously examine why you’re saying the things you are. Because if you’ve fallen into the “free speech” defense, it means you have no other defense.
Yeah, emotional violent savages are gonna act that way. They are not intelligent enough to argue and are uncivilized animals. Screw maga, they are weird outcasts and, anger getting wrecked in the election, can go hide in their bunkers where polite society doesn't have to look at them anymore...
She embodies almost everything they hate, this was almost inevitable once she came to their attention.
Remember folks, the so-called moderate Republicans coming out of the woodwork have fully enabled the whackjobs making death threats and all the other bullshit coming out of the Gaslight Obstruct Project party over the past few years. They allowed this to happen, they invited this to happen, and the US will take years if not decades to recover.
We are entering the "I never supported him anyway" phase. Don't let them.
