A leading Democratic candidate in a closely watched House race brushed off looting and arson that occurred during nationwide unrest during protests about racism and police brutality sparked by the death of George Floyd.

“What the hell you got snipers on the roof for in a peaceful march? Even if people loot, so what? Burn it to the ground, you know, if that’s what it’s going to take to fix our nation,” retired Air Force Col. Kim Olson said during a live digital event on Tuesday, shown in a clip obtained by the Washington Examiner.

Are “Texans” stupid enough to vote for this nutcase?

[smvoice]

maybe we should have demanded that Texan sponsors be required for anyone wishing to live in Texas....

[dfwgator]

Lot of stupid Texans these days.

“Excising this cancer from our Nation will be very, very painful.”

Yes, but letting it metastasize will be lethal.

[Truth29]

She could lead by example and burn down all of her own property first.

[faithhopecharity]

sounds like a pretty standard DNC candidate these days, sick in the head and violently anti-American in the heart

[Chgogal]

Moved down to Fort Lauderdale. All is quiet down here. Nothing about defund the police. Protests were minimal.

What do you call someone whose property, possessions, fruits of their labor may be taken by force? I call them a slave and I will not be one.

That's the spirit. Time for pushback.

[davidb56]

Correct, and thats just what is needed to stop all of this. If the nutcases go after the politicians and their properties, law and order will rise up real quick.

[massmike]

She must be confused and think she’s running for Attorney General of Massachusetts!

[petitfour]

Hmm. Take her pension and give her a rebel flag as a consolation prize.

[frank ballenger]

retired Air Force....
There was a poll that about half of uniformed current military were anti-Trump. If that poll is right (shocking if so) then ones like her make up today’s modern military. We are in deep, deep trouble. She is a comfort to the enemy.

Ones I have talked to do not sound this moronic way.

Any kin to Pat?

When the shooting starts, don’t expect the military to side with the citizens.

I expect the military to fracture, like what happened in the English Civil War.

[crusher2013]

You forgot the part where the tell you how much you deserved it.

You can’t reason with crazy people.

[dynachrome]

That is a tranny.

How TF did this POS make it to Colonel?
