Republican Congressman on Suspected Islamic Radicals: “Kill Them All”

In action to the London horror attack, Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.) had a severe proposition: eliminate anybody thought of being an Islamic radical.

On his project Faceboook page, Higgins, a previous policeman, published this message:

The totally free world … all of Christendom … is at war with Islamic scary. Not one cent of American treasure ought to be given to any country who harbors these heathen animals. Not a single radicalized Islamic suspect needs to be given any step of quarter. Their desired entry to the American homeland need to be summarily rejected. Every possible step must be engaged to hunt them down. Hunt them, identity them, and eliminate them. Eliminate them all. For the sake of all that is great and exemplary. Eliminate them all.

The post increased early on Sunday early morning. On Saturday night, presumed terrorists eliminated 7 individuals throughout an attack on London Bridge. ISIS has actually declared credit for these murders.

With his statement that Christendom is “at war with Islamic scary,” Higgins was accepting a style of the far best: the battle versus extremist jihadists belongs to an essential clash in between Christian society and Islam. And in this Facebook post, he was requiring eliminating not simply terrorists condemned of abhorrent actions, however anybody believed of such an act. He did not discuss how the United States might identify how to recognize radicalized Islamists in order to reject them entry to the United States. It was uncertain whether his proposition to reject any help to any country that harbors “these heathen animals” would use to England, France, Indonesia, Spain, and other countries where jihadist cells have actually dedicated dreadful acts of violence.

Higgins workplace declined to permit a Mom Jones press reporter to speak with a representative for the congressman. In an e-mail, his spokesperson validated the Facebook post was genuine.

In late January, Higgins provided a intense flooring speech assaulting Democrats and the “liberal media” for opposing President Donald Trump’s Muslim travel restriction. He stated that “extreme Islamic scary has actually grasped the world and … amazingly … been permitted into our own country with wanton neglect.”

Quickly before running for Congress, Higgins resigned from his post as the general public details officer of the St. Landry Parish Sheriff’s Office, where he had actually made a track record as the “Cajun John Wayne” for his tough-talking CrimeStopper videos. Higgins suddenly gave up after his employer, the constable, bought him to tone down his less than professional remarks. “I consistently informed him to stop stating things like, ‘You have no brain cells,’ or making remarks that were completely rude and demeaning,” the constable stated.

“I do not succeed controlled,” Higgins kept in mind at the time. “Although I like and appreciate my constable, I should resign.”

Update: Higgins’ project representative, Chris Comeaux, informed Mom Jones in an e-mail: “Rep. Higgins is describing terrorists. He’s promoting for searching down and eliminating all of the terrorists. This is a concept all of America & & Britain ought to be joined behind.”
