Republican AG Told ‘at Least the Guy Was a Democrat’ After He Killed a Man With His Car
‘AT LEAST THE GUY WAS A DEMOCRAT’

The family of a man run over and killed by South Dakota’s Republican attorney general have expressed outrage at a vile text message sent after his death.

The Daily Beast, Mar. 10, 2022

Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg ran down and killed a pedestrian on Sept. 12, 2020. This week, South Dakota Department of Public Safety Secretary Craig Price said Ravnsborg received a text message from an unnamed political consultant less than two days after the crash that commented on the political party of Joe Boever, the 55-year-old man that Ravnsborg, a first-term Republican, had killed.

“Well, at least the guy was a Democrat,” the message read.

SNIP…

Boever was a cousin of Nick Nemec, a Democrat and former state legislator who ran for the state Public Utilities Commission in 2012. Nemec, who has served as a family spokesman since the crash, said the comments about Boever were upsetting.

SNip…

He said Boever was a registered Democrat but was not active in politics.

“He was just a voter,” Nemec said.

An example:A man at a local event by Turning Points USA asked, just hours after the Boise Towne Square shooting, asked Charlie Kirk when he would get to start killing political opponents.



‘When do we get to use the guns?’ The police should be able to take that guy’s guns.

BY BRYAN CLARK
The Idaho Statesman, OCTOBER 28, 2021

Excerpt…

The main speaker was Charlie Kirk, the co-founder of Turning Points. Kirk’s hucksterism is obvious. He is a traveling salesman at heart.

Snip…

According to the nonprofit organization’s tax filings, Kirk was paid about $330,000 last year. Turning Points reported earning about $10.3 million from fundraising events, more than a quarter of its total revenue for 2020.

Snip…

The man, claiming the state had fallen into tyranny, asked Kirk: “When do we get to use the guns?” — to applause and cheers from many in the audience.

Then, to remove any doubt that this aspiring Brownshirt wasn’t being metaphorical or facetious but was, in fact, asking when to start murdering political opponents, he continued: “That’s not a joke. I’m not saying it like that. I mean, literally, where is the line? How many elections are they going to steal before we kill these people?”

Kirk did not respond with a simple message like: “Terrorism is wrong. You shouldn’t do it.” Instead, he cast political violence as a tactical blunder. It would play into the hand of the same hidden media-deepstate-Democrat forces trying to institute tyranny by installing Joe Biden as president, he claimed.

Don’t recall hearing Kevin McCarthy or Moscow Mitch kicked him out of their fascist-loving party.

Billboards call for the impeachment of South Dakota Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg

By Dakota News Now staff
Published: Mar. 12, 2022 at 4:04 PM EST

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) - The “Dakota Institute for Legislative Solutions,” which exists to “generate support for Governor Noem’s agenda,” has sponsored billboards in Sioux Falls calling for the impeachment of South Dakota Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg.

They’re the latest volley in the ongoing war or words between Governor Kristi Noem and legislators on the committee considering the impeachment of the Attorney General.

SNIP…

Noem has had a number of political dust-ups with her fellow Republicans in the legislature, particularly over the impeachment of Ravsnborg. The governor has long called for his removal for his role in a deadly crash. She has previously questioned the slow progress of the impeachment committee.

But some of those committee members have pushed back. Speaker Gosch told Dakota News Now in a roundtable Friday that Noem has made it personal with Ravnsborg.

“She does not like that man. I don’t know if it’s because he’s got ongoing investigations into her conduct, I don’t know what it is. But she does not like that man. she’s been wrongfully accusing him of a lot of things in the past year-and-a-half,” Gosch said.

Agree totally about the Hate Crime. If there was equal justice under the law, they’d be facing a federal judge debating whether the AG receive a life sentence vs. 200 years without parole.

Especially after all the tall tales RavnsBorg told after the fact. If anyone hasn't heard or seen his deposition knows RavnsBorg testimony was lies on top of lies.


Eyeglass wearing deer my ass!

"The only good Democrat is a Dead Democrat." and this one; "Stack their bodies in the streets like cord wood."

If the fascist (repugs) gain power in 2022 or 2024 they will come for Dems and Libs. You can count on Desaintis forming death squads. Think Augusto Pinochet.
