LINK Texas GOP Official Says Call for Mitt Romney’s Head Was Just a Metaphor About ‘Separation’ of Romney from Voters
Metaphor my ass.
Nowhere in the short tweet is the metaphor expanded upon, explained, or put into context.
Pure BS backtracking so he can say all manner of violent things (he has a history of it) and escape prosecution.
We've reached the point where any politician can say "I'm going to kill you!" and claim that nothing more is a metaphor for voting a politician from office.

And in law, each word has meaning, "should" does not suggest intent, only desire. Not actionable....

@TheMiddleWay Vitrol and hatred have always been a part of politics - and of course accusations have been given the weight of 'fact' that imply violence too. (Treason accusations and the noting of a death penalty being associated with it, is an implied violent statement)
@TheMiddleWay I won't participate in either sides desire to destroy, personally, people they disagree with. Right now, that happens more on the Left than the Right. That said, my personal principles put me on the Right - it is not a 'tribe' thing.
