Right-Wing Radio Host Calls For Execution of Obama and Others if Trump's Indicted

Source: Mediaite

Pete Santilli, a right-wing radio host, advocated recently on his show for the execution of former President Barack Obama along with former Attorney General Eric Holder and former National Security Advisor Susan Rice if former President Donald Trump is indicted this week — as Trump has claimed he will be.

This comes after Trump’s post on Truth Social over the weekend where he alleged that he will be arrested Tuesday stemming from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s investigation over a hush-money payment to adult star Stormy Daniels.

The video was posted by Right Wing Watch on Twitter Monday and shows Santilli raging for the military’s involvement so that the “criminals” can be held accountable.

Like deSantis, he knows that the only way to make a name for himself is by being outrageous.

It's a constant race to the bottom for these right-wing hosts, to see who can make the most headlines.

Not to use language like this because if someone acts on their words they can be sued if the killer says they were told to commit a deadly crime.

They can always fallback on "I never suggested someone kill an abortion doctor, or a politician". This jackass is trying to make a name for himself and stoke interest in his show, but he's walking a razor's edge of liability..

I had two college sophomore students, twins, on the night of Obama’s fist election win, texted about killing him. The next morning Federal agents were at their home, Mom’s, arrested them, took all computers, even parents equipment, and came to the college, which is in another state than mom’s home to question us. They were immediately booted out of college and faced criminal charges. We never heard the outcome, wanted to distance ourselves from them. I would bet they are trump cult and were at J6.
Why the hell is this assholes broadcaster not arrested?
Those two idiots had their Career dreams blown up. They were in Wildlife Management with hope of being Game Law Officers. That will never happen thank GOD. They may be local police though.
So, why is this fool still yapping on air?

President Obama’s Inauguration Day. Sparklingly frigid. The Mall packed out past the Monument with people of all race, shape, gender and age standing shoulder to shoulder. Oh my god, everyone was so happy! Driving down the highway on the way to DC people had signs and stickers. There was excited honking and waving as we all shared the journey. This jack@$$ needs to get the talk and a bit of a walk but even then he can’t un blow the dog whistle. Can’t wait until he starts whining about being threatened…..real or imagined we will never know.

GOP response: line certain personalities up against a wall, no investigation, no trial, and shoot them dead.

Was Charlottesville just a tourist stop for very fine people who happened to like swastikas? Admitted Neo-Nazis who are self-proclaimed MAGAs won't even be rejected by the Republican Party, time and time again.

Yeah, I think NAZI fits. And the Nazis didn't start out extreme either.
