If he said this, yes. If you read more than the headline, you’ll see he just said “there will be hell to pay”. He’s still a douchebag but it’s not even vaguely a terroristic threat.

I’ll take the hell to pay if Dems win the election over the living hell if they don’t, thanks.

I’m tired of the misinformation and twisting of words.

According to the article the closest Tuber came to a threat was making the comment “…there will be Hell to pay.” His only mention of Jan 6 was him saying that was his first day.

If we’re going to call them out for their stupidity, let’s do it on what they actually say — not on hyperbole.

After saying Jan 6 was his first day he said that’s what’s going to happen if the Democrats don’t change the law to require citizens to bring their passports or birth certificates to vote. His party will tell voters that the results are untrustworthy if they don’t add this overlay for the first time in US history. It was absolutely a threat. Pass our legislation or there is hell to pay.

Just because he said January 6 does not mean he is threatening another insurrection. He never detailed what he meant by “hell to pay”. No one but him knows what he meant by that.

Yet so many people want to jump to conclusions without any actual evidence. This is the crap that republicans do; we are better than that — we have to be, because republicans suck.

Leave the bullshit rhetoric to them, and stick to the facts.

The ‘that’s what’s going to happen’ connects the two thoughts.

I full agree that a huge amount of the time folks simply can’t see past their feelings for someone and see through that filter, but I’m not seeing the distortion this time.
