GOP congressman calls for execution of “sodomy-promoting” US Army general

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.

Boddhisatva,

I would like, if I may, to ask the distinguished gentleman from Arizona, exactly what better society he is referring to here? I can only think of nations like Russia or Saudi Arabia who would do such a thing so I would like the gentleman to clarify which nation he thinks is better than the United States of America.

I would also like to inform the gentleman, that to be hung, one would need to be a portrait or a porn star. A criminal would be, in fact, hanged.

The modern GOP in a nutshell: come for the bigotry, stay for the Freudian slips.

The guy running against Gosar having all of Gosar’s immediate family in an ad saying Gosar sucks will always be one of my favorite campaign ads.

Someone else linked it replying to my comment

Lauchs,

I had completely forgotten about this, thanks for the pleasant stroll down memory lane!

Tylerdurdon,

Wow, you weren’t kidding.

Yeah, my family has a cabin in his district and I damn near fell out of my chair laughing when this came on the TV.

cabron_offsets,

Christ on a shitstick.

RedditReject,

And yet, he was still elected.

Given my experience in the district, he almost seems like a moderate compared to a lot of the residents.

thefartographer,

I agree. Well, in a better society, everyone would be hung. :DroolEmoji:

Nougat,

So ... Milley is a "BLM activist" (etc.) ... who delayed the miltary's response to Jan 6? That doesn't even make any sense.

It does if you're trying to pretend it was antifa.

Nougat,

Ohhh you meant if GOP Congressman Crazypants was trying to pretend it was antifa. I was confused. Let me try and get it straight:

Milley, a BLM activist, delayed the military response to Jan 6, because the real perpetrators were antifa, and he wanted to protect them so that they could make the right wing look bad by ... doing exactly what the right wing wanted done?

atzanteol,

Now you’re GOPing!

Precisely.

And he would have gotten away with it too. But Mike Pence didn't get in the car.

circuscritic,

A few cycles ago his opponent ran an attack ad that was, no joke, all of his siblings denouncing him and urging the voters to support his opponent.

Here’s a link to some news coverage of it:

Here’s the actual ad with all his siblings/relatives:

tomatopathe,

And he was still elected.

toasteecup,

Ok who the hell summoned gosar from the ghost dimension this time?

LEDZeppelin,

Oh he’s “hung” alright, Paul. Don’t be jealous.

Presumably he meant 'hanged.' But Freudian slip gonna Freudian slap.

thefartographer,

Yeah, it was all probably just a Freudian sexy mom

cabron_offsets,

Oh look, another worthless republican traitor.

BigMacHole,

Republicans love America so much that they want to murder it’s top military leader.

lntl,

this fella should not fly for the rest of his life

jcit878,

out a window would be fine though

ShaggySnacks,

I see someone is familiar with the Russian style of flying.

who delayed the military’s response to the January 6 riot.

So Jan 6th was a riot now? And those were in fact insurrectionists?

ShaggySnacks,

It was a riot caused by anitfa pretending to be good upstanding Trump supporters on a tour of Congress.

I believe that covers all the bullshit excuses these fuckle heads have come up.

It’s time to start arresting some of these terrorist members of the Republican Party.

Smurfe,

What’s up with all these pro life conservatives wanting to kill people? /s

Pratai,

… and now this man should probably go into protective custody because Trump’s little army of MAGA-fucktarded minions will probably take this as a call to arms.

kbotc,

Against a general… Someone who commands a literal army.

Pratai,

They’re that fucking stupid.

xantoxis,

This is treason, right? Feels like treason.

CheezyWeezle,

Treason in the USA is specifically giving aid or comfort to enemies of the United States. As far as I am aware there are no official enemies of the United States, so technically it is not possible to commit treason unless the United States wants to officially announce a foreign power as an official enemy of the US, which would be a possible casus belli against them. Treason is a tricky charge to try.

Nurgle,

Right, the proper term is sedition.

postmateDumbass,

Treason requires a real, declared war iirc.

CheezyWeezle,

Yeah, at the very least I don’t see how the US could declare someone as their enemy without declaring war on them. Declaring someone as your enemy is basically saying you are going to war with them, even if it is a cold war.

plantedworld,

This is awful, but treason is really narrowly defined. He also didn’t say “hey followers, go kill this guy,” he is speaking in hypotheticals that are free speech.

He still sucks massive donkey farts though

Dressedlikeapenguin,

He still sucks massive donkey farts though

I’ve been looking for a replacement for “that sucks dick” and any variation. It’s homophobic. Now, donkey farts, That’s gonna be new go to! Thx

chiliedogg,

Actually, even that wouldn’t be treason.

Treason is actually the only crime specifically defined in the Constitution, and it requires either levying war against the United States, or adhering to enemies of the United States and giving them aid or comfort.
