Beto Campaign Contacts FBI Over TX State Rep’s Threat: ‘My AR Is Ready For You’

But Beto is white and male. And a member of Congress.

Conversely, seeing that said call from the FBI results in no punishment or sanction may motivate others to give it a try.

I don’t even think it’s a threat. Just another testosterone laced way of taunting, “come at me, bro.”

The thing is that little toad has probably never been in a serious fistfight and never will be. So while you can’t let a damn death threat just go, it’s also ridiculous. And after making an ass of himself nationally he’s the one who calls Beto a child? Please.

Also I don’t think Briscoe Cain III should make cracks about other people’s names, seeing as he comes from a lineage that’s genetically incapable of thinking of a better name than “Briscoe.” Plus somebody listed his political party as “Nazi” on his Wiki page haha. And put “Briscoe Shithouse Cain” above his picture. :grin:

ETA and now they listed his occupation as “Assclown.” Oh, Briscoe, Briscoe, Briscoe!

If it’d been “Abdullah” instead of “Cain”, he’d already be in jail, held without bail.

No, it’s actually pathetic because it’s the ring-wring script to call Beto by his full name as if it’s some kind of burn.So basically, you have a one-incher with a klassic hillbilly name trying to look tuff.

You know, Tejas.

Maybe. If Beto were Repug, then definitely.

Sad to say, but you’re right. Besides, he’s a republican and he’s in Texas. The most this creep will get is a slap on the hand.

Handcuffs, a perp walk, and attach his house for bail money.

Also, Republicans. This is the same school of oratory that thinks using Democrat in place of Democratic is a brilliant rhetorical strategy.

I don’t think a statement one way or the other was made in that regard. There simply isn’t enough evidence to know at this time.

They wouldn’t believe it if I told them how many times my head has failed to explode because of that. I do roll my eyes, at least inwardly, and think “Idiot.” Maybe that makes them happy, I don’t know.

And a libtard, in Texas.

My thoughts exactly.

The scene this reminds me of, actually, is Captain von Trapp, unarmed, walking calmly toward the teenage Hitler Youth boyfriend pointing a gun shakily claiming that he’ll shoot, as Captain von Trapp tells him “You’re only a boy, Rolfe.”

You get the sense that Briscoe Cain–whose name sounds like a minor character in a two-bit Western–isn’t the sharpest strategic tool in the drawer.

But he’s definitely some kind of tool.

He looks like Todd Starnes if Todd lost about 70 pounds. By which I mean he radiates God-boy weirdness.

I can’t seem to think of him as anything other than “Brisket” right now.

Sounds more like a character from the Muppet Show to me.

How old is this dude? At first, I thought he had to be way too old to be named after this minor TV show, but when I saw how long ago it actually came out, I thought maybe. God, I’m old.
