“Georgia Former Democrat … Candidate Who Called for Trump’s Assassination ARRESTED in Multi-State Child Sex Trafficking Sting,” Gateway Pundit reported Thursday. “Carl Sprayberry — a former Democrat candidate for Georgia’s 139th House District … called for the assassination of President Donald Trump in a social media post…”
What’s curious is how he justified his call for lethal insurrectionary violence.
“Donald Trump has committed an act of High Treason. Should Congress refuse to take action, he will be killed by the people, as per the Second Amendment’s existence,” he advocated in a post on X. “It’s time to kill him. This moment is why the Second Amendment exist,” he declared in another.”
A search for more quotes produced scant results because his Facebook shows “content isn’t available” and his Twitter/X account shows “Account suspended – X suspends accounts which violate the X Rules.” Exploring for more yielded a (relevant to this discussion) reply to a Canadian leftist:
“Bomb Mar-a-Lago”
Keep in mind that Donald Trump is an avatar for his supporters, and the level of hateful savagery some display is ISIS-level. Such people don’t want our guns for “public safety,” but for their own, so they can do whatever they want.
So, what we have is a wannabe politician caught up in a child sex trafficking scheme who ardently advocates for politically motivated murder and uses the Second Amendment to justify bloodthirsty lawlessness. That he’s a Democrat, the party with citizen disarmament baked into its platform, makes his homicidal rantings insanely hypocritical enough.
But wait, as the infomercial urges, there’s more!
From “Meet Carl Sprayberry” on his (not yet deleted) campaign website:
Carl is the only candidate in the State House 139 race recognized by Moms Demand Action, an organization dedicated to reducing gun violence founded following the tragic mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School that left 20 children (ages six to seven) and six adult school staff dead
And he’s featured on BlueVoterGuide.org’s “Gun Sense Voter Georgia Endorsements” page, which notes:
Campaign of Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund and Everytown for Gun Safety Victory Fund, along with the volunteer grassroots networks Moms Demand Action and Students Demand Action. We’re a non-partisan grassroots movement of people organizing to elect candidates who support common-sense gun safety laws at every level of government.
Never mind that every one of Carl’s “non-partisan” Everytown colleagues appears to be a Democrat—since when has telling things like they really are been a gun-grabber priority? And why is it so many Democrat “gun sense” candidates turn out to be criminal hypocrites, and sexual exploiters of the young (archive link may load slowly)? What’s that line about being known by the company they keep?
Why is it so many of these ambition-obsessed creatures who can’t – or more likely won’t – control themselves, are fixated on controlling you and me?
