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 Dakotas Republican attorney general have expressed outrage at a vile text message sent after his death.

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.

He said Boever was a registered Democrat but was not active in politics.
He was just a voter, Nemec said.

(14,909 posts)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 guys guns.

The Idaho Statesman, OCTOBER 28, 2021
Excerpt
The main speaker was Charlie Kirk, the co-founder of Turning Points. Kirks hucksterism is obvious. He is a traveling salesman at heart.
Snip
According to the nonprofit organizations 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 wasnt being metaphorical or facetious but was, in fact, asking when to start murdering political opponents, he continued: Thats not a joke. Im 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 shouldnt 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.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) - The Dakota Institute for Legislative Solutions, which exists to generate support for Governor Noems agenda, has sponsored billboards in Sioux Falls calling for the impeachment of South Dakota Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg.
Theyre 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 dont know if its because hes got ongoing investigations into her conduct, I dont know what it is. But she does not like that man. shes 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, theyd be facing a federal judge debating whether the AG receive a life sentence vs. 200 years without parole.

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.
