https://www.alternet.org/president-biden-should-be-executed/*snip*
On Tuesday, Colorado's 9News journalist Kyle Clark reported that far-right activist and commentator Joe Oltmann called for President Joe Biden to be killed during the Friday, March 8 segment of his online show.
According to Clark, the DCF Guns co-owner "has long used violent political rhetoric," before responding to Biden's expression of "support for a ban on so-called assault weapons" during his Thursday, March 7 State of the Union speech.
"I have gun stores and ranges," Oltmann said "on his Conservative Daily political program, which streams online and on MyPillowGuy Mike Lindells far-right broadcast network, FrankSpeech," Clark reports. "Im not taking one gun off the shelf," the far-right activist added.
He continued, "That is the definition of treason, and he should be hung by the neck until hes dead Thats the consequence. And you say, 'Oh my gosh, you're calling for his death.' Im calling for him to be put on trial, held responsible for hurting Americans, for standing against the Constitution we have. And the consequence of that should be, and is up to, death."

If not Trump directly executing his 'enemies', he will indirectly encourage his followers to do it.

FEC Uniteds Joe Oltmann spoke on podcast of a line of executions of traitors, including U.S. senators
https://coloradonewsline.com/2021/12/03/stretch-that-rope-colorado-conservative-leader-suggests-gov-polis-should-be-hanged/
A prominent right-wing activist with ties to many Colorado Republicans on Friday called for the mass executions of politicians he said were traitors to the country, including Gov. Jared Polis and many U.S. senators. Joe Oltmann, founder and president of the activist group FEC United and host of the Conservative Daily podcast, made a series of comments about the hanging of political opponents on his show throughout the week.
On Friday, Oltmann listened as his co-host, Max McGuire, read aloud the names of the 19 Senate Republicans who this week voted with Democrats to approve an 11-week stopgap spending bill, amid far-right demands to force a government shutdown over federal vaccine mandates for employers.
Theres your list of 19 traitors to the American people, along with all the other traitors to the American people, Oltmann said in response. I want people to go out there and get some wood. The gallows are getting wider and longer. We should be able to build gallows all the way from Washington, D.C., to California.
We just have a line of executions of traitors through the United States of America, Oltmann continued. If you guys dont think thats funny I think its kind of funny, actually. This talk makes me incredibly nervous, replied McGuire. Later in Fridays show, Oltmann talked about an online post responding to Polis, in which he said hed called the governor a liar and a traitor.

*snip*
2024 GOP presidential Donald Trump has been furiously railing against a variety of foes, from New York State Attorney General Letitia James and Fulton County, Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis to former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley. On his Truth Social platform, Trump even suggested that Gen. Milley should be executed.
In a blistering article published by The Nation on October 3, progressive legal expert and frequent MSNBC guest Elie Mystal warns that "promoting violence" isn't a mere afterthought for Trump it is a key part of his game plan.
"I cannot actually list all the people Donald Trump has wished to harm with physical violence," Mystal argues. "They include most of his political opponents, often along with their families; every prosecutor who has investigated or indicted him; nearly every judge who has presided over one of his cases, protesters; hecklers; former Vice President Mike Pence . I also can't comprehensively list all the people of color whom Trump has tried to nudge his white-supremacist supporters to harm, but an abbreviated list includes Khizr and Ghazala Khan, Colin Kaepernick, Alvin Bragg, Fani Willis, Ruby Freeman, Shaye Moss, and basically every Black person who can't rap."
"Trump has faced no consequences for his violent rhetoric in the past, so he will keep going back to that well," Mystal warns. "It won't end until he is brought to justice and jailed. The only question is whether he'll get anybody else killed on his way down."
