Mike Johnson suggests Gavin Newsom should be 'tarred and feathered'​

Republican US House speaker Mike Johnson advocated for a brutal form of vigilante justice to be performed on the Democratic California governor, Gavin Newsom, on Tuesday, saying he should be "tarred and feathered" for his opposition to immigration agents' enforcement actions in the state.

Newsom replied: "Good to know we're skipping the arrest and going straight for the 1700's style forms of punishment. A fitting threat given the [Republicans] want to bring our country back to the 18th century," when what is now the US was ruled by a monarch.

This came after the Louisiana congressman declined to say if Newsom and other California officials should be arrested – as Trump and his "border czar", Tom Homan, have recently floated – for allegedly impeding federal deportations.

Tarring and feathering, in which the recipient is stripped naked and wood tar is applied to the skin followed by feathers, is first recorded as being used in 1189 in orders issued by Richard I of England during the Crusades.

What the hell is wrong with these republicans? Holy shit, the Speaker of the House, the 'good Christian' thinks it's a good idea to murder the Governor of California. And yes, I mean 'murder' with a capital 'M'. In case people don't realize it, tarring and feathering a human being will almost always result in death. This is what vigilantes did in the old days. This is taking the law into your own hands. This was a stupid, brutal and ignorant comment by Mike Johnson and he should apologize for this remark immediately. Gavin Newsom has not 'crossed a line' as Tom Homan accused him of. Suggesting that a man, any man, should be tarred and feathers, is what crossed the line.

The behavior of this party, and the people that represent their party, is vile and disgusting to say the least.
 
JUST a figure of speech, right? Not meant literally, right? Everyone getting riled up about nothing, right?

Ok then. Let's do this. Let's suggest Trump should be tarred and feathered.

Anyone want to take bets if.........

A: Righties will take that is just a figure of speech, understand it wasn't meant literally, and won't get riled up?

B: Completely lose their cookies and come after us with accusations of Trump "hatred", TDS, and a few choice insults?

BUT, what Johnson said was just in jest, come on liberals, he was just trolling you. :rolleyes:

Traditionally, tar & feathering was for monarchists after the revolution.

So Mike Johnson should get it first, as he is most definitely a fawning monarchist.

Have to ask?
 
LOL. Johnson ballin'.
 
For those who went to government schools in Democrat-run cities, the term is used figuratively today, and no longer refers to pouring tar on people. That would be illegal. I'm sorry you were told otherwise and made to look like ignorant imbeciles.

I can’t help wondering what the reaction from the right would be if Hakeem Jeffries stood up for a press conference and said that Donald Trump should be tarred and feathered?

Do you know how ridiculously stupid it sounds for you to believe that an idiom should be taken literally?
