Missouri State Rep Calls for Lynching 'hung from a tall tree'

Missouri state rep says person who vandalized Confederate statue should be 'hung from a tall tree'
BY REBECCA SAVRANSKY - 08/31/17 07:59 AM EDT

A Missouri state representative said in a Facebook post he hoped the person who vandalized a Confederate statue would be "hung from a tall tree."

State Rep. Warren Love (R) shared an article to Facebook, titled "Vandal throws paint on Confederate statue," according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

The article addressed the recent vandalism of a Confederate monument in Springfield National Cemetery.

"This is totally against the law," Love wrote in the post. "I hope they are found & hung from a tall tree with a long rope."

Oh, right. That's more or less the GOP's default position.

And does the swastika not realize that the TSA would grab him at the airport for looking sort of vaguely middle eastern?
