  • You can’t do that.

    You’re an government official, not someone tanking a Tuesday-noon stand-up gig. If you want to be “funny” and intimate violence toward political opponents “as a joke”, quit and pursue that comedy career you’re tripping over yourself to practice.

    We can’t keep letting public figures say insane shit and walking it back “as a joke”. You shouldn’t be able walk anything back. If you want to recant, it’s an official motion you have to make and you’re fined regardless, if it was a threat/incitement to violence or slander/libel.

    They should be afraid of the words they use because those words have a greater effect than the average person.
