Otero County Commissioner Couy Griffin has again stirred an outcry over his fiery political rhetoric — this time for saying certain Democratic governors should be executed for treason.

Griffin, who founded the group Cowboys for Trump, also told the Daily Beast on Tuesday that anti-lockdown protesters might be justified in using violence.

During the interview, published Wednesday, Griffin said top Democrats, such as Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, are traitors who deserve the death penalty. Both governors have imposed restrictions to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus.

“You get to pick your poison: You either go before a firing squad, or you get the end of the rope,” Griffin told the Daily Beast.

1. I used to watch the PBR

Then they turned into a group of flag hugging assholes. We had to quit. We rooted for the bulls anyway.

[hibbing]

2. "fiery political rhetoric"

Ahhh, gotta love the writer of this. Yeah, it is just fiery political rhetoric, not an incitement to violence. Yeah, okay.

Peace

23. Like "Cut the tall trees" was rhetoric

That was instructions

[lark]

12. Help me understand something.

WHY do cowboys wear such large hats when their brains are so very small? What kind of a name is Couy? Is it pronounced Coo-ee? Coy? The horse has more "class" and intelligence than this clown does. Was he kicked in the head by a horse in his youth?

[jalan48]

10. If it's this easy to call for leaders to be executed how hard will it be to call for the followers

of these leaders to be executed?

[roamer65]

11. I think Russian sympathizers like Griffin should be tried for treason and executed.

So there, asshat Griffin.

Pa. GOP lawmaker says he tested positive for COVID-19; Democrats demand more information

He spread this knowing he had tested positive.

Pennsylvania congressman's righteous rant about GOP colleagues who hid a member's Covid 19 infection

The GOP house leadership knew this member had tested positive and was self-quarantining with the exception of committee work with unknowing democratic colleagues. What's more, the republican-controlled committee was responsible for pushing the "fake crisis, reopen now!" agenda of the state GOP.

The democrat in this video, Brian Sims, donated a kidney to a friend earlier this year, and has now served daily alongside a GOP congressman who knew he was positive and hid, with the assistance of GOP leadership, that fact from democratic co-workers. While taking precautions for their own well-being, of course.

Here's the rant:

14. Make your move, asshole.

Of course you won't because you are just another gutless jackwad, but if you do decide to get "tough" you may be making your own pick of poisons.

[HotTeaBag]

30. Pretty much what I was thinking.

The problem is that there are some pretty damaged people out there for whom killing someone isn't particularly distasteful who may hear him and think 'Yeah, good idea - after I finish my Fruit Loops I'll go out and shoot Whitmer'.

[hadEnuf]

31. Unfortunately people who are like that understand only one thing:

You can do to them what they want to do to you.


And no, I am not a gun enthusiast.

[Brainfodder]

15. WHOA, stop that dumbfuckery right now please!

[Warpy]

16. Got kicked in the head once too often

Otero County's claim to fame is the town of Alamogordo and a scar in the desert where the first nuke went off.

It's way down in the southern part of the state, bordering on Texas, which is where I figure this guy gets most of his ideas. In any case, he's pig ignorant enough to fit in there, better than NM.

He's also very typical of those "Cowboys," on the downhill side of middle age, paunchy, wears his hat indoors. He's probably going to run against Torres-Small in the next off year Congressional election. It's either that or he'll believe enough of his own bullshit to wind up in jail. He throws a lot of words around that he thinks make him look smart but has no clue what any of them means.

He's also scared because the virus is spreading there but his gunz and Jebus will pertect him and he's gonna plug any sissy librul who wears a mask.

(I notice he didn't make any threats against Gov. Lujan-Grisham. He knows that would have gotten him a lot more inconvenience than threatening governors in places he's never been did)

[RussBLib]

17. this rhetoric cannot be tolerated coming from elected "leaders"

this guy should be sanctioned and removed from the County Commissioners position.

Nothing but authoritarians in the GOP these days.

[not_the_one]

18. OK, now the WHORES FOR TRUMP need to step up and be counted.

That automatically includes every republican woman who is FINE with the turd grabbing their pussy.

[sinkingfeeling]

19. Needs to be arrested for terroristic threats.

[CrispyQ]

20. This is not "fiery political rhetoric."

This is calling for the death of people who disagree with you, inciting violence against people you don't like. I'm so sick of this fucking shit. I have zero respect for anyone I know who still identifies as republican, and that includes some relatives and long time friends. Fuck 'em. Just GD fuck 'em.

[Tommymac]

26. +1

[Grokenstein]

21. "You either go before a firing squad, or you get the end of the rope"

Sooooooo....did Internet Tough Guy say which one he prefers?
Or is he just cowering in Mummy's basement yelling "Let's you and him fight!"?

[lastlib]

22. Such "very fine people"....

We need to be protesting at his house next!

[MarcA]

24. His dad was also a County Commissioner from Catron County a truly

bizzaro world when it comes to such characters. County in the 1990s was going
to mandate that every household had to have a gun. Also home to infamous State
Rep Dan Foley although like Griffin he served in another county.

[marble falls]

25. Nice guy.

[Stuart G]

27. The whole county has 67,000 people.. less than an average suburb in Chicago Area..or

any large city. Of course his comment is stupid, but then he is ..stupid beyond belief He, like Trump thinks he can get away with saying anything. And like Trump, this guy is so stupid that he doesn't know he is stupid..

[question everything]

28. Can he be charged for inciting?

These are no jokes. Too many "morans" take them seriously.

Remember the pizza place in D.C. where Hillary was "trafficking kids" or something?

[BlueIdaho]

29. Boy there's a demographic you really want in your corner...

All hat - no cattle.
