Rep. Paul Gosar said that the “homosexual-promoting” general “would be hung” in a better society.
Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) called for the execution of General Mark Milley, the chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in a homophobic tirade this weekend.
In his newsletter this weekend – published to his Congressional website – Gosar accused Milley of being a “homosexual-promoting-BLM-activist” who delayed the military’s response to the January 6 riot. An election denier, Gosar has in the past claimed that he “started the revolution,” referring to the insurrection.

The guy running against Gosar having all of Gosar’s immediate family in an ad saying Gosar sucks will always be one of my favorite campaign ads.
Wow, you weren’t kidding.
Yeah, my family has a cabin in his district and I damn near fell out of my chair laughing when this came on the TV.
And yet, he was still elected.
Given my experience in the district, he almost seems like a moderate compared to a lot of the residents.
I had completely forgotten about this, thanks for the pleasant stroll down memory lane!
Christ on a shitstick.
Wait where is that? I gotta see it
Someone else linked it replying to my comment
I would like, if I may, to ask the distinguished gentleman from Arizona, exactly what better society he is referring to here? I can only think of nations like Russia or Saudi Arabia who would do such a thing so I would like the gentleman to clarify which nation he thinks is better than the United States of America.
I would also like to inform the gentleman, that to be hung, one would need to be a portrait or a porn star. A criminal would be, in fact, hanged.
The modern GOP in a nutshell: come for the bigotry, stay for the Freudian slips.
Neither Gosar nor Trump have served in the military.
That pretty much goes without saying, but bears repeating anyway.
would be hung
This is the the Free speech the right so desperately fights to say in the internet discourse. Either thinly veiled threats or dogwhistles.
Unfortunately for them such speech has consequences for them outside of their small bubbles.
Maybe by hung he meant cock size like if he wants a general in the army to blast him in the butt he wants them to do it with a hog leg.
Somebody get Chuck Tingle, I have a million dollar idea
Not Getting Pounded in the Butt by the Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Even After I Attempted a Coup to Get Him to Notice Me.
Truly, this is one of the ways of all time for one to Prove Love. His trot is truly unlike any other.
Obviously. Otherwise you say hanged
Join the army!
Free penis enlargement with promotion!
That is very homosexual of him to write this and publish it.
Thinly veiled? He’s saying the quiet part out loud.
So … Milley is a “BLM activist” (etc.) … who delayed the miltary’s response to Jan 6? That doesn’t even make any sense.
It does if you’re trying to pretend it was antifa.
Ohhh you meant if GOP Congressman Crazypants was trying to pretend it was antifa. I was confused. Let me try and get it straight:
Milley, a BLM activist, delayed the military response to Jan 6, because the real perpetrators were antifa, and he wanted to protect them so that they could make the right wing look bad by … doing exactly what the right wing wanted done?
A few cycles ago his opponent ran an attack ad that was, no joke, all of his siblings denouncing him and urging the voters to support his opponent.
Here’s a link to some news coverage of it:
And he was still elected.
Precisely.
And he would have gotten away with it too. But Mike Pence didn’t get in the car.
Now you’re GOPing!
Is this the same death that was called for by a twice-impeached piece of shit?
Yes
What’s up with all these pro life conservatives wanting to kill people? /s
Republicans love America so much that they want to murder it’s top military leader.
who delayed the military’s response to the January 6 riot.
So Jan 6th was a riot now? And those were in fact insurrectionists?
It was a riot caused by anitfa pretending to be good upstanding Trump supporters on a tour of Congress.
I believe that covers all the bullshit excuses these fuckle heads have come up.
delayed the military’s response to the January 6 riot
I thought it was just a tourist visit? Or is it only bad when it’s convenient for them?
Also, isn’t Gosar the one who’s siblings all appeared in an ad for the guy that was running against him?

He is, I spend a lot of time in his district and saw the ad on TV.
Yes. That says a lot. Who else knows you better that your own family.
My brother would have to be super duper evil for me to make a commercial campaigning against him.
“Hung” lol
“They said you was hung!”
“And they was right!”
It’s twue! IT’S TWUE!
Fifteen is my limit on schnitzengruben.
I knew they’d work Hunter Biden in somehow
Isn’t hung penis size and hanged correct English?
Interesting that you went to penis size and not a painting on the wall.
But, yes.
As a gay man who has hung a picture of a starry night on my wall, I did NOT think about that when I saw the word hung.
It like if I said “a women’s chest size” to most men, they would not think of a hinged box size.
You’re absolutely right!
As a cis-het male (who actually learned that he was “very well hung” from the penis doctor), can I laugh at this fabulous difference?
I already did. It’s just too great.
Exactly
For executions, hanged is correct. If I was to place a painting on a wall, it was hung. Or if I ended a phone call, I hung up.
This is treason, right? Feels like treason.
this fella should not fly for the rest of his life
out a window would be fine though
I see someone is familiar with the Russian style of flying.
Oh look, nothing will happen to him. No punishment for calling for his death.
It’s time to start arresting some of these terrorist members of the Republican Party.
