Rep. Paul Gosar said that the “homosexual-promoting” general “would be hung” in a better society.

Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) called for the execution of General Mark Milley, the chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in a homophobic tirade this weekend.

In his newsletter this weekend – published to his Congressional website – Gosar accused Milley of being a “homosexual-promoting-BLM-activist” who delayed the military’s response to the January 6 riot. An election denier, Gosar has in the past claimed that he “started the revolution,” referring to the insurrection.

    This is awful, but treason is really narrowly defined. He also didn’t say “hey followers, go kill this guy,” he is speaking in hypotheticals that are free speech.

    He still sucks massive donkey farts though

      Actually, even that wouldn’t be treason.

      Treason is actually the only crime specifically defined in the Constitution, and it requires either levying war against the United States, or adhering to enemies of the United States and giving them aid or comfort.
