Tea Party Congressman: Obama Will Commit Treason If Reelected

By Adam Peck

At a campaign fundraiser last week, Tea Party Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick (R-PA) warned attendees that President Obama would commit treason if reelected in November.

Fitzpatrick was listing the reasons why voters should not support the President, and for reason number three, he told the audience that President Obama would have no qualms auctioning off state secrets to foreign countries.

The Huffington Post flagged Fitzpatrick’s comments, which were distributed by the progressive advocacy group Credo SuperPAC:

“When he left the microphone on in Russia, we all heard what he said … left unrestrained, without the inhibitions of the next election — he’d have flexibility, he said, flexibility to do what he wants to do. Whether it’s trade away … the secrets of our national intelligence, to, what he could do to the United States Supreme Court in the next four years.”

Watch it (the remarks begin at around the 4 minute mark):

<...>

Selling state secrets is treason — a capital offense, punishable by death. Accusing the president of conspiring to commit treason is a stretch, even by Tea Party standards. Fitzpatrick was extrapolating wildly from an off-the-cuff remark made by President Obama to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev that was captured by a TV network’s microphone.

Ironically, it’s Fitzgerald who has run into some constitutional hot water. He and Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX) failed to be sworn into office last January before casting votes on the house floor, a move that Republicans had to scramble to fix by passing a resolution.

It's amazing how these idiot Republicans can get away with saying the most outlandish shit. Will the Mitt Romney and the Republican Party apologize?

6. Earth to Fitzy - GOP is already committing treason EVERY SINGLE day

by not taking care of their own citizens or even their own constitutents, rather kissing up to corporate asswipes that should not even exist - and they are all in violation of a RICO statutes if Citizen United continue to be the law of the land.

Arrest them, gentlemen.

7. Rummy outsourced weapons manufacture and tech (secrets) to foreign countries.

The GOP have sold our tech to the China and are making deals with foreign companies to sell off all American land and resources to foreign nations.

As well as selling our children's future with debt for their plans to advance PNAC with borrowed in China - every penny of it! And they have the nerve to accuse Obama of anything?

Most likely, more of their satanic doublespeak. If Obama gets re-elected and the Democrats sweep the nation, his administration will likely be able to charge their crooked asses with treason.

While Pelosi was Speaker, Conyers had leeway to run investigations to document the crimes of the Bush years. The evidence is waiting to be used.

Yeah, they should scared of that, probably are, and now they deflect their own guilt on Obama.

Epic Fall.
