Trump Team Accuses Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Encouraging Assassination of President

[TomCADem]

First, a word from Mirriam-Webster:

eighty-six verb

ˌā-tē-ˈsiks
Definition of eighty-six
transitive verb
slang
: to refuse to serve (a customer)
also : to get rid of : THROW OUT

So, I guess if any of us want to vote him out and get rid of him, i.e., 8645, then that is equivalent to threatening to kill him, and you should be arrested according to the Trump campaign.

Donald Trump's reelection campaign accused Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer of "encouraging assassination attempts" targeting the president on Sunday afternoon, amid escalating conflict between the two political leaders.

Trump's campaign, which uses the handle "Trump War Room" on Twitter, based its allegations against Whitmer on a token with the numbers "8645" clearly visible. The token appeared behind her during an interview with NBC News host Chuck Todd on Meet the Press Sunday morning.

The collection of numbers, as listed on Urban Dictionary, is "a sneaky way to illustrate one's support of getting rid of Trump, '86ing' the 45th president." Anti-Trump apparel bearing the same symbol uses similar descriptions of its meaning. Merriam-Webster defines eighty-six as a slang term synonymous with the following phrases: "to refuse to serve (a customer)", "to get rid of", or "throw out".

"The silly season is officially here. It's pretty clear nobody in the Trump campaign has ever worked a food service job," a spokesperson for Whitmer told Newsweek on Sunday. "Here's the bottom line: the president is not only a super spreader of COVID-19, he is also a super spreader of hate and fear. His divisive rhetoric needs to stop, and we need a president who will bring Americans together to defeat COVID-19."

9. Where? When?

These assholes know Trump has encouraged violence against Witmer so they are now doing a false equivalency play to augment their fascist rhetoric.

Please show the exact quote where Witmer is encouraging assassination. More Republican propaganda. What a malignant group.
