Montana state GOP lawmaker says Constitution calls for socialists to be jailed, shot

So actually in the Constitution of the United States (if) they are found guilty of being a socialist member you either go to prison or are shot,” the Montana Republican said.

Though he was reportedly unable to show what portion of the Constitution he was citing to back his claim, he continued to double down on his comments in the interview, saying: “They’re enemies of the free state.”

“What do we do with our enemies in war? In Vietnam, (Afghanistan), all those. What did we do?” he continued.

“I agree with my Constitution. That’s what makes us free. We’re not a democracy, we’re a Republic Constitution,” he also said.

Not far from the full Nazi ... nor from several GOP

[Skittles]

1. these people are sick, sick, SICK

and you just know that fascist fuck is a gun humper

[Traildogbob]

2. Really, like Jesus would do

Does his shooting apply to our socialists paid government, or our socialist paid military?

[Grokenstein]

3. And what shall we do with fascists, fascists?

Are fascists not also our enemies? Even more so?

“What do we do with our enemies in war? In Vietnam, (Afghanistan), all those. What did we do?” he continued.

Yeah, he sounds knowledgeable. /s

I'll tell you what we didn't do, chickenhawk: We didn't hold fucking pogroms in which we executed Vietnamese and Afghans living in the United States. War crimes were/are committed, stateside and abroad, and many perpetrators get away with it, but My Lai doesn't justify the sort of shit you're proposing. Delete your existence.

[Me.]

4. His Name Is

Rep. Rodney Garcia (R-Mont.)

[2naSalit]

11. And sadly, probably a safe seat.

Our legislative body is RED and the governor is Democrat as is one of our Senators. Hopefully the body slammer in the House will be replaced by a Democrat as well.

As for this shitwad, he'll receive praise from the uneducated shit shovelers and get re-elected. But he's put himself on a national stage now and I hope it bites him in the ass really hard.

anything ...but the dude’s name is Garcia. He’s talking big for having that name isn’t he?

[2naSalit]

35. Yeah, he sure is.

Must be how he keeps his cred with the white folks in his district. Bet he has a couple hundred guns.

[MontanaMama]

40. You know he does.

We’ve sure got some dandies in the proverbial woodwork.

[dalton99a]

5. Kick

The Montana Democratic Party on Saturday evening released a statement decrying Garcia.

"Rodney Garcia has brazenly flaunted his conviction for a domestic dispute, called single moms deadbeats, and was only elected because he created an illegal campaign cash scam. Now he's publicly calling for people to be shot,” said party chair Robyn Driscoll, adding she thinks candidates who were at the event should condemn Garcia.

20. For every single mom there's a single dad out there who isn't taking

any responsibility.

[jmbar2]

48. And for every abortion...

...there is a male involved, but never blamed for being a slut. It's all about beating up women when they are at the lowest points in their lives.

[DFW]

6. "we're a Republic Constitution?"

And we all drink covfefe in the state of Nambia while we're at it, right?

Afghanistan Bananistan...........

[pangaia]

7. "......we're a Republic Constitution.."

HUH ?

[Grokenstein]

10. When you want to say "Constitutional Republic"

...(which is accurate), but you're too excited and aroused by the thought of slaughtering American citizens en masse.

https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitutional_republic

[pangaia]

18. yeah, i know.. just being picky

[ChazInAz]

27. I have a little hobby.

When a RWNJ pops off with that "Constitutional Republic" bit, I always ask them to define the term. Sometimes I turn on my accent when I ask.

[not fooled]

42. He had "Republican Reich" in mind

but his brain spit out "Republic Constitution."

[C Moon]

8. Expect more of this crap and worse from the GOP.

Now that their "king" has got away with crimes against his own country, they think they can do the same.
They know he's guilty of impeachable crimes, but they don't care.

[lunasun]

9. Really stupid asshole with violent fantasies

[dchill]

15. IOW, a Trump Republican.

[2naSalit]

12. Lots of people play with guns around here...

maybe we'll get lucky and he'll become victimized by his own ignorance by choice.

[MontanaMama]

52. +1

Natural selection...my favorite kind.

[2naSalit]

59. Yup, it works.

[elias7]

13. or sent to Russia...

[SWBTATTReg]

14. This idiot needs to resign ... does not deserve the office he's in. I agree w/ my constitution ...

yak yak yak and yet he can't find the part of the constitution that says enemies should be shot. Ironic that he's using the quote 'enemies of the free state' when in fact, he clearly is.

[zentrum]

16. Trying to get Bernie and AOC

.....shot.

[pangaia]

17. Here are his email and tel #

let's tell him what we think



Primary ph: [phone]
Email: [e-mail]

[MontanaMama]

31. Thanks!!!

I will call first thing tomorrow morning. What a dumbass.

[jmbar2]

46. aol.com? are you kidding me?

[pangaia]

47. look at his record in the state senate... everything died

[PatSeg]

19. I didn't know

they had socialists when the constitution was written. Also didn't know we are a "Republic Constitution", must have been sick the day it was taught in American History class.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

21. He needs to be handed a copy of the Constitution and

not allowed to leave the room until he can point out exactly where it says that.

[YOHABLO]

22. These people have green pus growing between their ears.

[Progressive Jones]

23. Another phony tough guy with a big mouth.

They're a dime a dozen, and easy to knock on their asses.

[NurseJackie]

24. Shooting? That's over the top!

[Mr.Bill]

25. So he says "What did we do to Vietnam?"

Uh, dude, we lost that one.

[Oldem]

26. Wonder where he heard this.

Oh, right; Hannity once said, on the air, that the nation wouldn't be safe until all liberals are dead.

[The Wielding Truth]

28. I hope they know what a socialist really is and how it is hard to be one when you are also for

democracy and capitalism and wish to have leaders to vote in your behalf. This is a silly law. I think however that mass media should have back up for any news story. Fox News should stop representing itself as news.

[NoMoreRepugs]

29. Yep - almost ALL NASA rocket scientists come from Montana.

[2naSalit]

36. Hey now, one of the women who were the first to spacewalk together

is from Montana. He happened to shoot his mouth off and someone exposed him, good. It'll help us get rid of him. It's a huge state with a small population and word gets around... sometimes it takes a little longer. One of the things I love about this state is that there is such a thing as tomorrow, and for most things, if something didn't get done today, probably okay if it happens tomorrow. Weather permitting that is.

[MontanaMama]

54. Back per down a notch,

please and thank you.

[Piasladic]

32. "I agree with my Constitution."

Well, I guess if he ever has any power, my (US) Constitution means nothing.

I swore an oath to the United States Constitution, one I remember taking. I'm a Socialist and this is the most frighting thing I've ever experienced. I wanted to live out in the open... under the sky. Now, I fear.

[tclambert]

34. Ask him what the Constitution says about robots

and time travelers. The Constitution is really harsh when it comes to time travelers.

[Jedi Guy]

57. The Constitution clearly states that Jean-Claude Van Damme is the Time Cop.

He's responsible for policing the timeline. I know it's in there somewhere.

I'm not quite sure what it has to say about robots, though.

[Turbineguy]

37. He needs

to have his brain removed for examination.

[David__77]

38. I'm glad both parties condemned this.

...

[DBoon]

39. because nothing says freedom like imprisoning and murdering your political opponents

very strange definition of freedom here

[NotHardly]

41. He seems nice...;/

[BlueMTexpat]

43. I believe that there has been a mass

migration of "Stupid" into Montana, especially into eastern Montana.

We always had our crazies there, but there used to be fewer of them. Most of them had the sense to stay under the radar.

Now they are proud to display their ignorance before the world, encouraged by and following their role model in the WH.

[Moostache]

51. And yet, they get 2 Senators and undue power over MILLIONS in this country...

We need to face facts - the founders NEVER, in their wildest dreams imagined a coast-to-coast nation of 350+ million people - for fuck's sake, that was nearly a third of the ENTIRE population of the world in 1800 (some 990 million people estimated).

The Senate as currently comprised is almost as hideously bad as the Electoral College model.

[SoCalNative]

53. Was Idaho getting too crowded?

[MontanaMama]

56. There have been pockets of

crazy up here...but agreed they did have the good sense to keep their traps shut and live their best life in the shadows...except the Freemen back in the ‘90’s. Remember those guys? Good grief. Eastern MT does seem to attract them and they’ve of course been emboldened by the MF. Good people are calling them out. There are more of us than there are of them.

[BlueMTexpat]

61. I do remember the Freemen, but

Last edited Tue Feb 4, 2020, 06:26 AM - Edit history (1)

wasn't living there at the time. I believe that they made a movie about how the Freemen terrorized a magistrate.

I know that there are many more good people than these eedjits there. I'm related to quite a few of those good people and went to school with many others. But the scumbags do seem to get more press coverage.

Thanks so much for calling them out!

[MontanaMama]

64. Wish I could rec your post

if only because of "eedjits". That made me laugh out loud.

[BlueMTexpat]

67. Following your earlier post and to refresh my memory,

I looked up the Freemen. Here's the Wiki write-up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montana_Freemen

Here's a story, with pix, about the standoff: https://billingsgazette.com/news/state-and-regional/montana/montana-freemen-standoff/collection_df534ac6-ada1-54ff-affa-2313a7baecc6.html#2

Here's a summary from the SPLC: https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/intelligence-report/1998/montana-freemen-trial-may-mark-end-era

Here's a movie about them, but it's not the one that I was thinking of: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6391364/

Hope that the links work.

The movie I'm thinking of was likely a TV movie rather than one released in theaters and the group terrorizing the woman magistrate was apparently one of the other militant groups. But it was based on a true story. Unfortunately, I'm just not finding it on "the Google."

People took these things seriously in the 90s. Times have certainly changed.

There are other crazy groups in MT. Some, like the Pinesdale group, are more benign than militant: https://www.abcfoxmontana.com/missoula/report-says-montana-polygamist-group-is-divided/article_b44dcba6-5b0e-11e9-8f71-13e5e1e5d48a.html

But still, nuttier than fruitcakes. Literally, the "dumbing-down" of the USA.

[jmbar2]

45. Rep. Rodney Garcia (R-Mont.). Call him out by name.

[not_the_one]

50. How did someone named Garcia get here without immigrating?

If his ancestors immigrated, did they do it through the proper channels?

Just askin' for a friend.

[MontanaMama]

55. Oh yes.

Working his name/crazy ass story into my social media today.

[Farmer-Rick]

49. I read in the bible that government politicians who call for killing others

Will be struck down by God.......

You know, though shall not kill.

[area51]

58. wtaf?

So I guess he'll not be driving on socialized roads, not be using our socialist police dept., not be calling our socialist fire dept. should he have a fire, not use a socialist library, not send any kids to socialist-paid for K-12 schools, not take Social Security bennies, and certainly refuse to use socialist Medicare.

[marble falls]

60. And he's already been elected???

[Blue_Tires]

62. He wants a shooting war? I'm game...

[0rganism]

63. unthinkable repulsive bullshit nonsense today, law of the land tomorrow

sand in the hourglass of the Old Republic is falling away quickly these days, and no one is adding any from the top

with apologies to all the optimists out there, things are about to get much much worse

[onetexan]

65. the ignorance is repulsive

[not_the_one]

66. I think he is confused. Jail and execution is the punishment for treason,

which every republican politician hanging on to the turd's legs, while kissing his ass, are ABUNDANTLY guilty of.

Supporting Putin, over our own intelligence agencies, in the destruction of this country IS treason. There is no gray area.

So when is he going to announce pushing for the elimination of social security, medicare, medicaid, food stamps, infrastructure funding, etc.

The deplorables can't accept their benefits fast enough, AND can't scream fast enough about SOCIALISM. The poor little babies don't get IRONY.

Bigly Sad.
