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.
Griffin, a county commissioner in the state, hastily added that he only meant Democrats who were dead in the political sensean effort at cleanup he repeated in an interview with The Daily Beast on Tuesday.
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.

This is the kind of behavior that Trump encourages with his hate speech and rage tweets. He is tearing our country apart.

Curious statement. By their actions, it's more likely there will be dead cult members.

The lockdown would have been minimal if it had been instituted early in February

Instead we have massive shutdowns that are too late to do much good. Hundreds of thousands will die. How's that for a poor choice of words to describe reality?
