What the whining was about:
Saying Democratic U.S. Representative Pramila Jayapal "calls on Democrats to be ‘strike ready’ and ‘street ready'" and that "This is a CLEAR call to violence!”
What she actually said (back in March):
"We want to help you seed, participate, and coordinate these nonviolent resistance actions that are going to make a difference over the next coming months. If we were in the labor movement—and shout out to any of our union members that are on this call—we might call this getting strike ready. I think of it as getting us strike ready, or street ready, and part of that is understanding our own strength."
What a Republican state Representative John Gillette said on Sep 24:
“Until people like this, that advocate for the overthrow of the American government are tried convicted and hanged … it will continue.” (“It” seemingly referring to political violence.)
Yup. Actually says U.S. Representative should be hanged.
Accusation of promoting violence = Confession of promoting violence
As the nation talks about the rise of political violence, a Republican official blatantly called for Representative Pramila Jayapal to be hanged.
