http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2017/06/republican-congressman-clay-higgins-suspected-islamic-radicals-kill-them-allIn response to the London terror attack, Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.) had an extreme proposal: kill anyone suspected of being an Islamic radical.
On his campaign Faceboook page, Higgins, a former police officer, posted this message:
The free world all of Christendom is at war with Islamic horror. Not one penny of American treasure should be granted to any nation who harbors these heathen animals. Not a single radicalized Islamic suspect should be granted any measure of quarter. Their intended entry to the American homeland should be summarily denied. Every conceivable measure should be engaged to hunt them down. Hunt them, identity them, and kill them. Kill them all. For the sake of all that is good and righteous. Kill them all.
(end snip)
OMG. He should be removed from office immediately. No excuses.

the funders of these terrorists you want to kill?
What should be done with them?

Hmm...

I'm shocked and offended.
Normally these types are more subtle and well-read.

P.S. time for the US to pull out of all ME/Muslim countries then if our money shouldn't be there. Right?

Regardless, what an idiot.
