No way
CPAC Speaker Calls for Eradication of ‘Transgenderism’ — and Somehow Claims He’s Not Calling for Elimination of Transgender People
Mississippi Republican calls for execution of transgender people… by firing squad
I looked at the second one. The closest it gets to being able to back up the claim is link to a deleted tweet. If there’s a tweet you want to report on, capture it in the internet archive or something. Always make a certifiable copy of incriminating evidence if possible.
It was caught on archive.org:
Original tweet suggesting firing squads: https://web.archive.org/web/20220326002200/https://twitter.com/RobertFoster4MS/status/1507183998967160833
Bonus reference to fascist helicopter ride meme: https://web.archive.org/web/20220326233334/https://twitter.com/RobertFoster4MS/status/1507687089726541825
Threat to "deal with them directly" (the Godless communists in control, allegedly): https://web.archive.org/web/20220326233302/https://twitter.com/RobertFoster4MS/status/1507378309386182658
Boom, those archive links are exactly the kind of evidence that works.
Fuck that guy. All I can say is, hey at least he didn’t get re-elected.
