He's right though. None of the Jan 6th insurrectionists were hanged and the behaviour continued.
I'm actually baffled that Americans have scoffed at treason so hard. A slap on the fucking wrist is all they got.
Plenty of us wanted to murk the bastards or at least seize assets, the problem is that due to civility bullshit there was no practical political will. Every fucking dem and independent could've wanted literally any punishment for it but short of lynching a couple Congress critters to get the ball rolling nothing would've motivated the required actions.
That was different.

"Instructing people on how to protest peacefully is an act of treason and you should be hanged for it."
Mmmmmkay. I wish I was leaving out some sort of nuance or context, but no. That's straight up what he's saying, unapologetically.
Republican rhetoric follows Le Bon’s The Crowd method: Affirmation, Repetition and Contagion.
First they espouse an idea or belief (ex. Radical Left are violent animals). The crowd accepts these statements as true, regardless of reality.
Then blast it on repeat through every medium so it becomes internalized in their minds.
Finally, the contagion phase, where the crowd is spurned to action, whether it is getting out to vote, storming the capital or going door to door murdering “The Enemy Within.”
It’s not difficult to see what the fascist intent is behind the extreme violent rhetoric.
This hateful moron blamed Jews for Pearl Harbor.
Yes all those Japanese Semitics....
I hear they have pretty good sex, cooking, and wolf taming techniques
An Arizona Republican lawmaker on Wednesday called for the execution of a Democratic congresswoman because she urged people upset with President Donald Trump to protest in the streets.
The post Gillette responded to claimed that Jayapal was making a call to violence because she said protesters should be “strike ready” and “street ready.” The Arizona Mirror watched the video in its entirety and found no calls to violence or advocating for overthrowing the government; it was focused on “non-violent resistance” to Trump and advising people on how to do that.
In contrast, Gillette has expressed support for the Trump supporters who stormed the U.S. Capitol in January 2021, who violently assaulted police officers and broke down doors and windows in order to access the building so they could stop Congress from certifying the 2020 election. In several posts on X, he called the 1,600 or so people who were prosecuted — and since pardoned by Trump — for their actions that day “political prisoners.”
He refused to answer questions when the Mirror reached him by phone on Thursday.
Coward.
May his calls for violence be answered back on him.
Like Charlie Kirk
No no no.. Don’t you see? Violence is only ok when it’s inflicted upon immigrants, non-whites, LGTBQ community, anyone left-of-MAGA and women.
/s
Even MAGA isn’t safe. There have been a lot of faces eaten by leopards, and they haven’t all been left of MAGA. If anything, this really just proves that being the token friend doesn’t protect you. Being “one of the good ones” isn’t good enough. The only thing that matters is conformity, and things like non-conforming race, gender, or sexuality will be punished regardless of who you voted for.
"The violent left"
Ever accusation is a proud statement of violence from these typical Republicans.
The most common tell in his enraged statements is that he, like most MAGA cultists, accuse others of exactly what he does regularly, and brazenly. For him, though, that is moral righteousness.
Rep. John Gillette (R) is an antifa member of the "radical Left" then, right? As defined by Republicans and Trump saying how it's those groups calling for political violence.
You first, Mr GOP
