The following OAN clip has been brought to you by the letters W, T, and F:
Hey @FBI @SecretService @CapitolPolice — you may wanna look at this video from OAN about “Republicans against Trump” that ends with “Rest in peace.”
This rhetoric is abhorrent and intolerable. pic.twitter.com/xcQElfetr0

Yeah, you know what? There’s absolutely no excuse for that kind of garbage. None.
Hi there, is there any primary source for this video? If so, I'd love to offline it for safety.

It’s one thing to believe that a bunch of Republicans betrayed Donald Trump. People have that prerogative. But it’s another thing entirely to use imagery and rhetoric like that, particularly given our current political climate.
I mean, we had a guy shoot up a Congressional baseball practice, nearly killing several people. Or is that different because he was a Bernie bro or something?

Violent rhetoric is violent rhetoric is violent rhetoric. Full stop.
Holy hell.

If you think anything about this @OANN video is acceptable, you need to re-examine your life. I don’t care what your political beliefs are. You need help as a human being. https://t.co/wrLqJCt9nf
