UPDATE: 2 police officers fired after FB post suggesting AOC should be shot
Two Louisiana policemen have been fired over a Facebook post that suggested Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez should be shot ― one of the officers wrote the menacing message and the other “liked” it.
Though it is a felony crime to threaten a sitting member of Congress, Lawson told NOLA he did not feel the Facebook post represented a legitimate threat. Rispoli wrote the comment while sharing a fake news article that falsely claimed Ocasio-Cortez said, “We pay soldiers too much.” Fact-checking site Snopes.com debunked that story on Wednesday.
This is Trump’s goal when he uses targeted language & threatens elected officials who don’t agree w/ his political agenda. It’s authoritarian behavior. In May, Ocasio-Cortez opened up on Twitter about the security risks of her job, stating that she has received a “flood of death threats.”
