Wow, Missouri

"This is totally against the law," [State Rep. Warren] Love wrote in the post. "I hope they are found & hung from a tall tree with a long rope." Love faced criticism for his post Wednesday, with the chairman of the Missouri Democratic Party calling for him to resign.

“This is a call for lynching by a sitting State Representative,” Stephen Webber tweeted. "Calls for poltical violence are unacceptable. He needs to resign.”

Love denied he was calling for a lynching when contacted by the newspaper. “That was an exaggerated statement that, you know, a lot of times is used in the western world when somebody does a crime or commits theft," he said.

Really? I've never heard it before.

A man living up to the promise of his name.

"That’s just a western term and I’m very much a western man. … You know, I wear a coat. You know, I dress western. And, you know, I’m the cowboy of the Capitol."

Jesus Christ.

He wears a coat. That makes him western.  He apparently thinks "the western world" is the US wild west.  Maybe he should never have been elected in the first place?

He added that it's "disturbing" to see "that somebody would be a low-life enough to" desecrate the monument.

Or low-life enough to call for a lynching.

 Forget resigning, he needs to be recalled, and maybe locked up.
