I thought they went beyond that when they started calling for the "eradication" of trans people and suggesting they should face firing squads.

I looked at the second one. The closest it gets to being able to back up the claim is link to a deleted tweet. If there’s a tweet you want to report on, capture it in the internet archive or something. Always make a certifiable copy of incriminating evidence if possible.

Boom, those archive links are exactly the kind of evidence that works.

Fuck that guy. All I can say is, hey at least he didn’t get re-elected.
