6, 2021-published a long post on Facebook celebrating the threats.

Anthony Fauci of “murder,” calling him a “psychopath” who “should be in prison.”Īfterwards, Gilbert-a former boxer who was part of the mob that assaulted the U.S.

The rhetoric and conspiracy theories spouted by Andersch have become conventional wisdom among the Patriot crowd, including Gilbert, who claims that Donald Trump is the “real” president, and that he won Nevada by 44,000 votes. Then came the threats: “You fucking traitors! We should string you up on a lamppost right now, pussy boy!”Ī man who accompanied him outside, telling the Sisolaks to leave, chimed in: “Do you know what they do to traitors? They hang them!” Andersch loudly agreed, and continued to badger Sisolak out to his car, calling him a “treasonous, China-working cocksucker motherfucker,” adding: “Whoooo! You’re lucky I’m a law-abiding citizen!” He finally broke off the assault when Sisolak’s daughter Ashley caught up to them. When she brushed up against Andersch, he cursed: “Don’t touch me, lady! Selling us all down the river! You working for China piece of shit!” Sisolak’s wife, Kathy-a Nevada native of Chinese descent-was also a target of the hate spewed by the men. Out here without a cop, without security? Whoooo! You got balls on you, boy!” I’m surprised you have the balls to be out here in public, punk. “You’re in here without security?” he shouts. “You New World Order traitor piece of shit bastard,” the man continued. “Sorry to hear that,” Sisolak replies, and steps away toward the door. The encounter opens with the man asking Sisolak to pose with him for a selfie, after which he attacks: “I can’t tell you what a piece of f-ing s- you are,” the man says. It’s a powerful precursor to real-world violence because it not only obliterates any compunction about killing, it positively creates permission for it. This kind of rhetoric is not simply violent but eliminationistin nature: That is, it’s discourse intended not simply to oppose a political or cultural foe but to dehumanize and demonize them, to render them nonhuman objects fit only for elimination-vermin, diseases, existential threats. And two Republicans running for the nomination to replace Sisolak for governor-Reno attorney Joey Gilbert and Las Vegas council member Michele Fiore-lauded it: “I cannot think of a more deserving person,” Gilbert wrote, while Fiore chimed in that Sisolak was “lucky it was just words.” “We should string you up on lamppost right now!” “They hang traitors!” shouted the men, one of whom recorded his own video and posted it on social media, as they walked out to the parking lot. Even more disturbing were the supportive remarks from Republican officials who lauded the attack. It was bad enough that Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak, a moderate Democrat, was verbally assaulted in late February as he was departing a restaurant with his family by a pair of bellicose men who threatened to hang him. He concluded the discussion by mentioning how these anti-vax wackos need to keep their butts out of hospitals, easing the burden of medical professionals forced to treat these ignorant fools. Moreover, the expectation that people of “my parents’ generation” would take vaccines in order to protect themselves and their communities. Stern further confirmed the divisive, hateful and selfish country we now live in by pointing out the polio vaccine. The discussion quickly changed to one involving civic duty. Indeed, we now live in a world where the voice of reason comes from the guy famed for playing the bongos on woman's buttocks. “I’ve taken this vaccine three times and the worst side effect is that for a day I had a little bit of a headache.” Stern was apt to point out the most common symptoms associated with taking the vaccines. They think they’re going to become magnetized if they take the vaccine.” They think there’s some kind of conspiracy to turn them into a magnet or something like this. In the clip below, Stern shoots down stupid anti-vax theories of "magnetism." Stern, who has used his Sirius/XM platform in the past to scold Trumpers, is absolutely done with anti-vaxxers and their never-ending stream of idiotic conspiracies. Stern, by no means a supporter of government intervention into the private lives of citizens, prides himself as a thoughtful citizen who regards vaccination as the most basic thing you can do as a citizen. Shock Jock Howard Stern had some blunt words for the selfish anti-vaxxer crowd that refuses to grasp the grounded science behind vaccines.
