Democratic Representative Bennie Thompson of Mississippi might have fired a staffer for wishing Donald Trump’s would-be assassin had succeeded in killing the 45th president.
But if Thompson had gotten his way a few months ago, Trump might have been killed.
The man who led the bogus January 6 Committee and was a devoted insurrectionist in the 1970s wanted to end Trump’s Secret Service protection.
So did another Democrat, Linda Sanchez of California.
Yet the move to pull Trump’s protection is hardly a surprise. For years, myriad Democrats and prominent Trump haters have suggested that Trump must be killed.
Thompson’s Bill
The Thompson staffer was deranged Jacqueline Marsaw, 61, who also heads the NAACP office in Natchez, Mississippi, the Daily Mail reported.
“I don’t condone violence, but please get some shooting lessons so you don’t miss next time oops that wasn’t me talking,” she wrote sans punctuation.
That unsettled the former insurrectionist Thompson, apparently.
“I was made aware of a post made by a staff member and she is no longer in my employment,” he said.
Maybe, but Thompson tried to remove Trump’s protection in April.
He introduced H.R. 8081, the hate-Trump “DISGRACED Former Protectees Act,” which would have forbidden Secret Service protection “for individuals who otherwise qualify for it upon sentencing following conviction for a Federal or State felony.”
Thompson falsely said the bill wasn’t an ex post facto law prohibited by the federal Constitution because it was not “punitive.”
Cosponsors of the bill — all Democrats — included Troy A. Carter Sr. (La.), Barbara Lee (Calif.), Frederica Wilson (Fla.), Yvette D. Clarke (N.Y.), Bonnie Watson Coleman (N.J.), Jasmine Crockett (Texas), Joyce Beatty (Ohio), and Steve Cohen (Tenn.).
Thompson Formerly Affiliated With Terrorist Group
Thompson was once affiliated with the Republic of New Africa, which wanted to seize several Southern states by force, “if necessary,” and create New Africa. During a shootout with cops and the FBI, members of the terrorist group murdered a policeman.
Sanchez’s “No Glory for Hate Act,” H.R. 5812, would have done the same thing as Thompson’s “DISGRACED Former Protectees Act,” except that it linked the withdrawal of protection for Trump to his two impeachments.
Neither bill passed.
Violent Democrat Talk
Minutes after the assassination attempt, X users reposted myriad videos of hate-Trump Democrats and celebrities either implying or directly saying that Trump is another Hitler who threatens “democracy” and should be murdered.
Tops among them was, of course, Joe Biden himself. As The New American reported in its first take on the attempted assassination, Politico obtained an audio of Biden offering this assessment to donors:
I have one job, and that’s to beat Donald Trump. I’m absolutely certain I’m the best person to be able to do that. So, we’re done talking about the debate, it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye.
In late June, Biden delivered this message about Trump on X:
Donald Trump is a genuine threat to this nation.
He’s a threat to our freedom. He’s a threat to our democracy. He’s literally a threat to everything America stands for.
“This is not a normal election,” former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on hate-Trump MSNBC. “He [Trump] must be stopped. He cannot be President.”
Also appearing on MSNBC, former Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill said Trump is a greater peril than were Nazi Adolf Hilter and Italian fascist dictator Benito Mussolini.
“A Lot of people have tried to draw similarities between Mussolini and Hitler and the use of the terminology like ‘vermin’ and the drive that those men had towards autocracy and dictatorship,” McCaskill said:
The difference, though, I think, makes Donald Trump even more dangerous. And that is, he has no philosophy he believes in. He is not trying to expand the boundaries in the United States of America. He’s not trying to overcome a neighboring country like Putin is in Ukraine. He is not going for some grandiose scheme of international dominance. All he wants is to look in the mirror and see a guy who’s president.
Stacey Plaskett, the Democratic delegate to the U.S. from the Virgin Islands, said “he needs to be shot,” then corrected herself.
Violent Celebrity Talk
And after the U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled that presidents have immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts, X was ablaze with leftists claiming that President Biden could legally assassinate Trump.
One prominent celebrity demanded it.
“Joe, you’re a reasonable man,” said lunatic lesbian “actress” Lea DeLaria:
You don’t want to do this. But here’s the reality: This is a f***ing war. This is a war now, and we are fighting for our f***ng country. And these a****les are going to take it away. They’re going to take it away. Thank you, [Supreme Court Justice] Clarence “Uncle” Thomas. Joe, you now have the right to take that b***h Trump out. Take him out, Joe. If he was Hitler, and this was 1940, would you take him out? Well, he is Hitler. And this is 1940. Take him the f**k out! Blow him up, or they’ll blow us up. Facts.”
And years ago, “comedienne” Kathy Griffin famously posed with Trump’s decapitated head, while actor Johnny Depp and has-been singer Madonna both fantasized publicly about murdering Trump.
“When was the last time an actor assassinated a president?” Depp asked, referring to John Wilkes Booth, President Abraham Lincoln’s assassin.
“Yes, I thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House,” Madonna said.
Rick Wilson, a founder of the hate-Trump Lincoln Project scam, whose key players covered up a boy-grooming scandal, was clear in 2015:
They’re still going to have to go out and put a bullet in Donald Trump.
