Dunno. Scanned through the charging documents, other than identifying himself in one call as “Hitler” (in another as “George Washington”), I don’t see anything that would qualify him for King’s staff.
Just rants about Democrats, baby-killers, Hillary Clinton, the usual.
No racist, confederate or dog-whistle stuff.
Yup. Remember “Florida man” Cesar Sayoc? Sent mail bombs to a bunch of dems/libs, and the rw echo chamber brushed it off because no one died, nor did any bombs actually explode. You know - no harm no foul. (Despite that full-throated defense, however, he was recently found guilty on all counts.)
Some academic has probably run a computer simulation on this question. But didn’t publish because as we know… facts have a liberal bias.
sn
IOKIYAR to make 1,999 calls threatening to kill Democrats and get away with it but the little MAGAT couldn’t help himself and he had to go for #2,000…
Trump doesn’t have supporters, he has “fans.” Rabid. Stalkerish. Crazed. It’s what he likes.
Day 1: “I don’t know anything about it. But I’m sure he was well-meaning.”
Day 2: “It’s just more fake news.”
Day 3: “My staff says he’s bi-polar, so I guess he travels a lot. But I’m sure he’s a fine person, on both sides.”
Really, there has to be limits. Once you make more than, say, 500 threatening calls, you’re just asking for trouble.
The person I would arrest is Rupert Murdoch.
Incendiary President, incendiary followers.
Oh, those were so last century.
From a local news report:
Haven told the agents he made the calls “during periods of frustration with the way Democrats were treating President Trump,” according to charging documents, but said his comments were “just meaningless threats that were made out of frustration.”
Now we know where Barr came up with his “the President was frustrated” defense.
Oh…why use the shortened version…they’re fanatics…full on. “Fans” sounds so innocuous.
He’s a charmer…I bet FOX ‘news’ would insist he was ‘driven’ to it.
Another “Very Fine Person” according to Cheeto Mussolini.
Not only that, Trump’s offered to pay his legal bills …
… ok, well, to pardon him …
… ok, ok, well, to have the Trump Foundation pay his legal bills
… that is, if the Trump Foundation still existed.
Because — you know — Trump cares about the Little Guy.
As long as this nutter is only threatening Democrats, Republicans think it’s just fine to sell this guy as many AR-15s as he can store in his basement. And only if he’s white.
Another MAGAt inspired by the Stochastic Terrorist-in-Chief. But by all means, let’s just refer to him as another “lone wolf” who most definitely is not a terrorist.
He seems nice.
