Rep. Jim Bridenstine Shrugs Off Questioner Who Called For Obama To Be Killed

by Brian Tashman

At a breakfast event with the Tea Party organization Tulsa 9:12 Project last week, Congressman Jim Bridenstine (R-OK) saw no need to rebuke or even disagree with a questioner who said that President Obama should be executed.

“Obama, he’s not president, as far as I’m concerned, he should be executed as an enemy combatant,” the questioner said, before asking the congressman about “the Muslims that he is shipping into our country through pilots and commercial jets” (a claim based on a bizarre right-wing conspiracy theory).

brainwashed to the hilt....If it wasn't for the damage they're doing, I'd actually feel sorry for her and all those like her.

From a sad pathetic old white guy who at least doesn't have is head up his ass.

They've been that way all their lives. There are plenty of old white people who are decent human beings. The measure of a person is when push comes to shove. What kind of person are you when you are afraid? under stress?
Are you a murderous bigot, or do you overcome your fear and anger?

State have no obligation so shut up a person who is publicly fomenting the assassination of the President. Either unbelievable or what do you expect of a right-wing asshole and prick-head in the 21st-century.
