this was from a couple months ago but i guess it wasn't as horrible as SHS being denied fried chicken and getting secret service protection as a result. no calls for civility over this.
<A man who in a racist tirade threatened to kill Rep. Maxine Waters, spurred by her criticisms of President Trump, pleaded guilty Monday to a felony charge of threatening a U.S. official.
Standing before U.S. District Judge Stephen Wilson in a downtown courtroom, Anthony Scott Lloyd admitted the charge. The 45-year-old San Pedro man is scheduled to be sentenced in July, when he will face up to 10 years in prison. He is likely to receive a far lighter punishment, however.
In pleading guilty, Lloyd acknowledged calling Waters' Washington office on Oct. 22 and leaving a voicemail in which he repeatedly threatened to kill the Los Angeles congresswoman, called her by a racial slur and made a homophobic remark.
Lloyd told authorities he made the call after becoming angered while listening to a report on talk radio that criticized Waters, a Democrat, for making critical comments about Trump, an arrest affidavit showed.
"Bitch, if you do it again, you're dead," Lloyd said in the call, according to court records.>

(31,869 posts)To come and chastise you for writing "black woman". it most certainly will not be a post in support of Rep Waters.
After chastising you, they will turn it into writing ****** is worse than threatening a Congress Woman.

Those people are going to get someone killed some day, and I hope the subsequent lawsuits change talk radio forever.
