What I truly don’t understand is how does a former Marine General with the gravitas of the Trump White House and the United States Military incite violence against a black congresswoman and nobody does a damned thing about it? Why should we be on our knees pleading for this man to apologize, now that we know we’re dealing with a racist sociopath, who’s pinned a bullseye on this woman’s forehead? Last I heard, Frederica Wilson, because of the death threats, has been missing votes in Washington, d.c. and is remaining home in Florida for the time being, according to the Miami Herald:
“She’s home,” said Rep. Alcee Hastings, a Fort Lauderdale Democrat. “I have not spoken with her about it, but I’ve heard that she’s received substantial death threats and I think she is doing everything she can to ratchet down and let some of us, including me, take over.”

One racist threat against Wilson that surfaced on Facebook by a Chicago area man is being investigated by police.
“Need ten good men to help carry out a lynching,” the post read. “Must have own horse and saddle. Rope will be provided. This congresswomen [sic] is a disgusting pig. Someone should take their boot to her face.”
