Josh Bernstein: Democrats Should Be Arrested, Charged With Treason for Refusing Trump's Border Wall

Right-wing commentator Josh Bernstein posted a video last night in which he declared that Democratic members of Congress should be arrested and tried for treason for refusing to fund President Trump’s proposed border wall, making them the newest group to be added to his never-ending list of people he wants to see charged with treason.

“It is purely political,” he said. “This has nothing to do with anything other than the fact that these scumbags—and that’s what I’ll call them—that will not fund our southern border, it’s all about [not] giving Trump his victory. That’s what this is, prevent President Trump from getting his victory by any means possible.”

“These people are lower than pond scum,” Bernstein continued. “They are in violation of their oath of office. They should be arrested and charged for treason for not upholding the Constitution and supporting the Constitution and the right to protect the citizens of the United States.”

Bernstein said that he hopes that Trump “gives the middle finger to Congress and tells them to go jump off a bridge and declares a state of emergency and funds this damn wall once and for all.”

So it's about Trump getting a win not whether it's an effective security measure or not.

Guess AAAAALLLLLLLL the politicians prior to now were also guilty of treason, considering how none of them built a portion of a wall on the southern border?

Seriously, though, pretty sure the Constitution doesn't mention Congress's duty to fund wall building...

has called for genocide against Muslims[23][24], stated that a host of government and other public figures, including Barack Obama, Alec Baldwin, Hillary Clinton, James Comey, George Soros, Robert Mueller, Loretta Lynch, Sens. Mark Warner, Ben Cardin and Bob Corker, and other government officials should all be arrested and either executed for treason or forced to build a border wall [25][26][27][28], and that David Hogg, a student who survived the Stoneman Douglas High School mass shooting, was somehow involved in the shooting.

He was a victim, which is why he has been out trying to promote sensible gun safety laws.

Bernstein is an idiot. Did he go after Mitch McConnell for failure to uphold the constitution when he failed to do his job as Senate leader to provide Advice and Consent to President Obama's pick for Supreme Court? Cause unlike the Democrats not wanting to waste 10's of billions of dollars on an ineffective wall and thus not voting for that expenditure, allowing a sitting president to have his nomination voted on is an actual constitutional duty.

It is sad that right wingers know so little about the actual Constitution they purport to defend.

Now that its been revealed that dump and his henchemen were actively collaborating with the Russians, all of them should be tried and sent to the injection table once convicted.

Loud mouthed pundits who shoot their mouths off in support of them should be the targets of investigations into whether they provided material support or engaged in activities tantamount to espionage.
