Updated May. 27, 2020 5:20AM ET
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.

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.
But in the interview, Griffin also repeated his claim that the only good Democrat is a dead one and signaled that he still thinks some top Democratssuch as governors Ralph Northam (D-VA) and Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI)could be guilty of treason and the punishment that comes with it.

Human garbage advocates the death of Democrats, including my governor.

(86,646 posts)But I think the stars are dyed or color separated fabric, not sure how that works but they aren't appliques. The one in the hose picture above is not the cotton type, which are heavy. He's got a light weight pole and a synthetic flag which also weighs little.
Such a phony.
Now a real cowboy would be out there with a fucking canvas flag on a broomstick!

Just as many Dems own firearms.
We're just not advertising that we have them. When shit goes down, we know every GOP gun humper in the area because they like to advertise they are armed. It's the silent owners that you have to worry about. Even in densely populated NJ, it can take 20 minutes for police to arrive, and if they are a small town and contract with the state police, it could be upwards of an hour to get a trooper to arrive. A lot of shit can happen in an hour.

(10,053 posts)Here in my state we lost so many innocent folks at the hands of just one person holding a gun : the Parkland students and the Pulse nightclub folks to name just two. When that trumpy super-fan Cesar Sayoc was arrested (just down the street from my son's apt) I was was so relieved that he didn't go on a shooting spree, he "just" mailed letter bombs to impress his president. My fear is the next trumpy big mouth will have a big gun to match, and will use it.

And, I am betting I am a better and more efficient and accurate shot then these role-playing yahoos.

(33 posts)I collect curios and relic firearms from WWII (still functional) and the collector forum I belong to has been getting more and more hateful and supportive of drumph as the election nears.
One person wondered why THEY allow democrats to exist at all.
I got suspended from the forum when I posted my reply.

(6,930 posts)But I have seen comments such as they all need to be wiped out, Republican Party should be eradicated. The faster they die out, the better. Those are some of the milder ones. God, just look at some the threads regarding covidiots.

(28,264 posts)Helpful hint, "Couy": If you want this Democrat dead, bring it on. Just be advised that like a lot of Democrats, I'm well-armed. And when it comes to shootouts, I cheat. Happy trails, motherfucker.....

(14,858 posts)He's a Christian pastor, and an elected County Commissioner.
ALAMOGORDO Couy Griffin believes his experience as pastor of the New Heart Church in Alamogordo will help him administer the needs of the county.
Griffin, a Republican, is running against Democrat Christopher Jones for the District 2 Otero County Commission seat in the November general election.
Most of my morals and principles do come from my faith, he said.
