Local Virginia (Republican of course) politician tweets about shooting protesters -- then deletes it [View all]
A conservative county supervisor in central Virginia is drawing criticism for a tweet about gunning down pro-marijuana demonstrators who stormed the Capitol Hill office of Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.).
Manuel Alvarez Jr., a Republican supervisor in rural Goochland County, saw a post on his Twitter feed about protesters trying to force their way into Harris’s office on Tuesday and tweeted his reply to his 636 followers.
“With one reload, I can take 34 of them. But my guess is one will be sufficient,” Alvarez wrote.
After logging back onto Twitter later Tuesday, Alvarez noticed the negative reaction to the post and deleted it.
