Pro-Trump Candidate Calls for Executing Parents of LGBTQ+ Kids
Mark Burns described the fight for LGBTQ+ rights as a treasonous attempt to "destabilize the republic."

"The Trump-endorsed Republican candidate in South Carolina’s 4th Congressional District called for the arrest and execution of those who advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and the protection of trans children. During an appearance on The Stew Peters Show, Pastor Mark Burns was asked by host Jane Ruby to commit to voting for transphobic laws that target LGBTQ+ children and their parents and ending what she called “this war on children.” Burns went much further than committing to voting for legislation. Burns said the underlying goal of those he called “the LGBT transgender grooming our children’s minds” is to destabilize the country -- LGBTQ+ issues are a "national security threat" to the U.S."
I want to start holding people accountable for treason to the Constitution. I am going to push to reenact HUAC,” he said, referring to the House Un-American Activities Committee. “We need to hold people for treason, start having some public hearings, and start executing people who are found guilty for their treasonous acts against the Constitution of the United States of America,” Burns concluded. “Just like they did back in 1776.” The struggle to protect LGBTQ+ rights and trans children was not the only issue drawing the Trump-endorsed Republican, as his ire for “the death killer Fauci” was equally strong, saying Dr. Anthony Fauci, the chief medical advisor to the President, “should be held for treason, hung for treason for the millions of deaths, the thousands of deaths that he’s responsible for that federal forced vaccination tyranny. This shows you that the book of Revelations is coming to pass.”
Finally, someone who can actually be in a position to do something that has to be done...Last week, when I talked about the pastor in Texas calling for the execution of gays; a few of the resident right-wingers on the board tried to distance themselves..called the guy just a fringe person...not representative of a larger Republican base....but now, we have a GOP nominee, campaigning on EXACTLY THAT....because that GOP nominee thinks that he will get enough of the Republican vote by doing so....
We already know that Conservatives loved that whole McCarthyism thing from years and years ago....because not ONLY did they go after suspected "Commies" -- but they also went after Jews in Hollywood, gays, uppity blacks -- you know, the people Conservatives always loved to go after...so to bring that back out again would be a winning campaign issue for the "small government" crowd....Yea, at this point, this guy is only willing to push this message on media outlets where a large portion of the audience is already bat-shit crazy..So he can talk that way in running to win a primary -- he may not talk this same way when it comes to trying to win a general election...but...the reason these folks consistently throw out this depraved homophobic red meat is for one simple objective. Authoritarian Christofacism requires daily demonstrations of this type of inhumanity to normalize it. It starts out with scapegoating the outgroups until it ends with gaining the power to punish that outgroup -- problem is...that outgroup may be the one you belong to one day...so be careful what you ask for.
