The head of Cowboys for Trump says a good Democrat is a dead one. And protesters in Kentucky hanged the governor in effigy.Will Sommer

As the head of Cowboys for Trump, Couy Griffin has led pro-Trump horse rides through Washington, D.C., and posed for a photo in the White House with Donald Trump. Hes a superfan of the president and on May 17, he made the case that Democrats should die.
Ive come to a place where Ive come to a conclusion where the only good Democrat is a dead Democrat, Griffin said to cheers at a rally at a New Mexico church. He was there to defy a public safety order pertaining to the coronavirus.

I couldve chosen a different verbiage, you know. I guess I need to be more careful when I choose the words that I speak, Griffin said. But you know, its just so hypocritical of the left how theyre blowing this up, like Im some hate-speech murderer.
But in the interview, Griffin also repeated his claim that the only good Democrat is a dead one and signaled that he still thinks some top Democratssuch as governors Ralph Northam (D-VA) and Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI)could be guilty of treason and the punishment that comes with it.
You get to pick your poison: you either go before a firing squad, or you get the end of the rope, Griffin said.

Yes, you're right, you can only fire one gun at a time but even one can do so much damage.

You can only fire one gun at a time, and lots of us on the Left are also armed
