The Montana Republican Party is facing another scandal over the use of violence to settle political disputes.

“A Billings Republican legislator said Saturday he believes the U.S. Constitution calls for the shooting or jailing of those who identify as socialists,” the Billings Gazette reports.

At a gathering of the state party on Friday, Garcia reportedly said the constitution requires jailing or shooting socialists during a Q & A with former Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke.

“You know, Montana’s a great state,” Zinke replied.

“We have to do something,” Garcia urged.

On Saturday, Garcia was asked about his remarks.

“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,” Garcia claimed.

The newspaper noted, “Garcia could not to point to where in the Constitution it says socialists could be shot or jailed.”

Fruit loop. But being a fruit loop is not funny anymore.

For him and his ilk the constitution is just the same as the bible. Deniers of democracy lay claim to it saying whatever bollocks they want it to get away with their far right nasty. . . and just like with the bible the far-right devilish fuckers consider themselves experts on the matter all the while never even having been arsed to read the two main documents they claim gives them the right to be the awful human beings they are. Go figure...
