A Texas Republican lawmaker who last week blocked Democrats’ effort to filibuster the state’s gerrymander made disturbing comments at a 2022 legislative hearing — suggesting a way to deal with immigrants might be: “shoot, shovel and shut up.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Federal Courts will deny redistricting, SCOTUS will overrule. Not on principle, not on precident, certainly not on Voting Rights protections, but for the criminal POTUS.
The new Nazi Party is all the republicans have turned into
They whine about the birth rate, then want to exterminate immigrants. It’s all reeks of racism.
They want ⬜️ babies though
MAGA sounds more and more like the Nazis every day.
When fascism appeared on the scene in 1922, astute American observers labeled them the Italian KKK. As true in 2025, as it was 103 years ago.
Excellent reference
What gets me is that our Government Agencies & our Congress have said white supremacy was our biggest threat, and we weren’t proactive enough in breaking up their networks. The alarm bells were ringing after McVey, and …nothing.
These people are evil.
WTAF? I'm seriously afraid that there will be random gravesites that turn up in time.
Someone who speaks like that about immigrants likely beats & cheats on their spouse and kids.
I wonder how he would feel on the southern end of a noose?
No surprise there. The fact these bigots live among us 60 years on is despicable. I grew up with School House Rock and Sesame Street. Apparently they did not.
Why is this man not in jail????
That’s Texas for you!
Shoot, shovel, and shut up... thanks for the tip Mr gop lawmaker...
I mean, it's just like the "Train Station", right 🙄
Same old "tough cowboy" act of malicious power-hungry bozos. Intellectually Disadvantaged Individuals Operating Tribally.
I guess same in reverse applies then, right? Fair’s fair.
Shame on Republican Charles Perry - even in Texas, that's considered a controversial method of dealing with animal predators attacking one's backyard chickens -- to use it in regard to actual *human beings* is evil. Which is totally on brand with the sadism of today's GOP.
It's a method some producers advocated for cases of mad cow disease, too.
Sounds like a standard-issue Republican. I’d expect nothing else.
His Russian handler must be proud
😡
He sounds like a KKK Grand Wizard.
Disgusting indeed!!!
Who is this Racist Politician? Let everyone know this one!!!
😡😡🥺the cruelty. Thank you to all those doing the hard work of digging through records to make cases against these kind of people. Building the blocks for court cases that force people to treat people like human beings. I am disgusted and heart sick with him and people like him. WTF
The lowest among us are out in the open and empowered.
That’s your campaign against this monster.
Are we great yet? From whence this blood thirst?
Right up Kristallnacht Kristi's alley. When do you need her to start??
I work with a lawyer who is VERY CONCERNED, always, about how mean people are when they talk about Trump and people in Maga because it's so ~dehumanizing~ and meanwhile Maga is joyfully cackling about wanting to murder all brown people.
People on both sides are as bad as each other. The best way to have a happy life is to stay out of it and have challenging creatve hobbies
I wonder what this guy would say if his immigrant ancestors had faced that same animus when white European immigrants started coming to this country. We, white Anglo Saxons, have forgotten that we are descendants of immigrants, we need to treat everyone as we would want to be treated.
I’d prefer if that applied to him.
Another fine example of a Texan legislators. SAID. NO. ONE. EVER!!!!!
Eventually anyone who requires glasses to see is not genetically superior MAGA dude. Crucifixion? Good. Go out the door, line on the left, one cross each.
That is beyond disturbing.
The cult of hatred.
That is some KKKlan talkin’ right there, y’all… 🤬
I guess he knows his constituents well.
It takes work to find worst human beings in state, peel off racist uniform, stick them in a suit, buy enough media airtime to convince most gullible that he deserves your vote. But billionaires will pay people to do this just so they can be in charge. Because billionaires CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH!
Let's all roll our sleeves up and sign up for a phone bank to help CA pass redistricting vote.
"There are enough Lakota down there to keep us fighting for two or three days...." "I guess we'll get through them in one."
These ‘sayings’ are not at all by accident. They show a lack of morals or empathy, same things missing in psychopaths btw.
They are the most horrible people. No wonder they get compared to Schnazis all the time. They talk like them.
Nazi being a Nazi
May he get for himself everything he wishes for others.
🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
GOP talking about themselves again, vomiting the truth just like that evil, corrupt Anti-American Traitor & Felon Trump always does?
Always the dumbest of the dumbest since the 1st 2 make the last one obsolete.
🤬🤬🤬
What district?
“It’s not the guns”. I wonder what was he going to shoot with
I wonder who’s buried in his backyard?
It's dirt nap time for the new Confederates.
Just like Jesus said
Sounds on brand. Scumbag.
What is wrong with the minds of these people? They're truly mentally disturbed.
He probably calls himself a Christian. His true colors will expose him.
Seems very GOP of him.
The GOP has become America's worst nightmare. They are one step away from domestic terrorist status.
Anthony, they’ve taken that step. They just haven’t started shooting yet.
Yes they have, they've been using the police to do it for YEARS.
Texas, Tejas has big fat , self-hating problems in their Senator talking fat trash abt Brown folk, could be shot at. #Texas #Texas #Aztlan
MF'er is on land that was Mexico.....
Native Americans were there 13,000 years ago.
YES, THAT'S the MAGA (formerly known as Republican) party.
The assholery of Texas RepubliKKKans is astounding. Predictable, yet still astounding. 🤬
Another MEDIOCRE REPTILE BRAINED Republican. Who doesn’t KNOW anything. Who just robotically repeats what THE FELON says bc he has NO ABILITY to actually THINK about what he’s saying or doing.
I think they have already done this
This is stochastic terrorism. These sick MAGA bastards must be stopped
Oh no! Terrifying! I heard that once, directed toward us American Indigenous kids on the playground, murmured by the town constable. That was 50 years ago, but when spoken by a man with a rifle in his hands, well I’m just shaking.
Yup. That is the kind of thoughtful, compassionate, caring person we elect here in TX. What an asshole.
On brand for Nazi pedophiles.
Oh look, another Southern Bigot being candid regarding their hateful soul! 😠
Somebody should really go check his backyard. 😬
May the Great Cosmic Boomerang of Instant Karma return to him what he has wished for others.
I can’t believe he doesn’t realize Karma, at some point, will find him.
I imagine it’s easy for someone who has never been held accountable for anything in his entire life
I never thought about that. What an awful way to live a life…
Speaking of, Karma’s sure cutting it close with Cheetolini.
Way too close.
I’d prefer a fast moving car, at night.
The sooner, the better....
Amen
And Karma’s sister Fate make an appearance
When he was a kid I bet he even blamed his dirty diapers on someone else.
That's a quote from Season One of "Yellowstone," where Rip told Jimmy what they'd do with a wild grizzly bear threatening their livestock. It's worse than murder: the Repubs are signaling that they think immigrants are less than human, that they're no better than wild animals. #RepubReprobates
Deplorable
This is a “dog bites man” story in Texas.
Disgusting excuse for a human being.
Someone check his devices, he's got something he's trying to hide.
Horrible VOTE this puke out
What the F is wrong with Texas?
Right !!!
Thank you for shining a spotlight on this.
📌
The majority of Texans who have their votes counted will agree with him
Sounds par for the course for the GOP.
Sad thing: redneck probably meant it.
I can't imagine how minority grade schools get shot up by far right white supremacists armed with assault rifles. It's the stochastic terrorism by mentally unstable GOP politicians who believe themselves cute. And the frikkin guns.
Take all the power away from that monster.
I’m sure he quoted the Bible before or after he made that statement.
These people are a cancer in our society that can't be removed. We're getting to the point of balkanization of the United States. The states limiting their citizens access to food assistance, medical care and vaccines will be the first to fall ill. It could start as blue states quarantine red states
Texas seems like such a lovely place to live. People like this are so…uh…what’s the word I’m looking for ?🤔
Hey Texas GOPer, it works both ways. Just sayin'.
Disgusting man.
I bet if we looked at these horrific individuals( I refuse to call them people) family trees a few Nazis fall out of that family tree. If these gangs are so horrible then why aren’t ICE agents being murdered daily? Gang members retaliate. Funny, I haven’t seen anything like it. It’s like they lied
texass, such a lovely magat state. Hot as hell with a dash of racism, cruelty, & stoopidity thrown in.
This is so disgusting that he is still in office.
I’m sensing a plot twist
sick people shouldn’t be lawmakers
This is verbatim what Republicans in the PNW and Rocky Mountain West have been saying about wolves and grizzlies for at least 30 years. First time I’ve seen it applied to humans though.
Goes for he and his family as well.
No surprise there -- with the ascension of Trump, all the bigots have come out from under their rocks to bathe in the sunlight of fascism
They are so brave under Trump! One day they will be running scared from us...
The list of corrective legislation that must be passed once Dems are back in power is getting sooooo long . . . I wouldn’t know how to even begin prioritizing . . . Suffice it to say that every loophole Trump has waltzed through to upend Democracy must be closed! 💪😔
That day cannot come soon enough…we must remember every last one of these treasonous, hateful POS and hold them accountable for everything they have done, or supported!
That day needs to be today. 😱
Ridiculous thing to say!
Hey Fucker….its not those immigrants who are “speaking up and out”…it’s the sane, moral, US citizens that have decency- who are speaking up. You want to shoot us, shovel us in a grave….just to shut up!?! Bring it on- MF!
ANOTHER SICK FUCK.
Sounds about right… The MAGAts are pretty vile down here.
Not surprising
If anyone questioned whether republicans are truly evil people, I think his statement confirms it.
I remember back when statements like this would be disqualifying.
Typical conservative Republican: arrogant, ignorant, and not representative of American values.
Praise Jesus for providing such good christian legislators to lead the one-star-rated state of Texico.
That's the solution to nazi fascism, careful what tf you wish for cowboy
He obviously forgot his white sheet.
Tx repubs are the worst of us.
Unspeakable how #evil these people are.
Call his ass. 5calls.org
I do a lot but i get no reply from Marsha Blackburn senator in TN (R) running for governor. She is up Trumps ass
Yep. But call her anyway - your voice still counts!
Absolutely!
Sounds like someone needs an involuntary mental health commitment and any weapons he owns seized.
The sadder thing is that if that quote was posted on a MAGA site it would get a ton of "attaboys." The quiet stuff is really loud now. 😓
OMG! What-is he a fucking serial killer in the making? Or does he just want grunts to do it? And how is this different from the Nazis? @nicollewallace.bsky.social @chrislhayes.bsky.social @michaelsteele.bsky.social
Are we surprised? Why was he charged???? Can he still be charged?
Why would any immigrant or descendant of immigrants vote for these people!?!? What went through their heads last November!?!
Conspiracy to commit murder
What?👏🏽 Is?👏🏽Wrong?👏🏽 With? 👏🏽These? 👏🏽People?👏🏽
Disgusting white trash asshole in power. Texas once again proves why Mexico should get it back from the real illegals.
Sounds like Republican management of people! All heart !!!!!!!!
People are going to be killed eventually.
OMG. We have entered a horrific era in America. Men and women fought and died against this in Germany
Damn, they’re nuts!!
bsky.app/profile/ever...
Racism is deeply embedded in the GOP. Along with support for weapons of mass murder, and treason.
Maybe someone should cap his ass once or twice and see how he likes it.
let's sell Texas to Mexico and let Claudia Scheinbaum show them how to run a government
assholes talk big but get scared very easily
Can anyone do a history check on this clown & find out WHAT YEAR his FOREFATHERS immigrated here? I always love to tell the Irish / Italian / Polish & others just *how really bad" it was trying to find jobs and housing... knowing they were hated. And it astounds me that the "melting pot" is dying.
No bottom to the evil
Good Christian’s , “yo Pete push the down button “
And he is still in office? Come on, Texas, vote that bigot out.
His gf is a..
He thinks it’s funny. Not buying the all kidding aside BS.
GOP politicians continue to reveal themselves as more and more lawless, depraved and hateful every day.
He is a Nazi
I understand the need to preserve the culture and behavioral norms. I get the frustration. This is disturbing talk for a leader. I mean, if *I* say it, well that's just me talking shit.
I never expected to find myself wishing pain & suffering to families to prove a point, yet here we are 😞 Until evil starts happening to the evil, nothing will change. Btw, there's no God, so stop using religion as an excuse.
He’s a mobster. I can’t imagine having so much hate in your heart & to feel at ease while expressing it verbally.
He's outright calling for his supporters to murder migrants, bury them, and not tell anyone. Dude really is speedrunning the Fourth Reich, since we're already at civvie brownshirts murdering anyone they want.
Nailed it.
And on Sundays he takes the family to church! Right?
class act, like all of them
These husks are soulless psychopaths
Whoa
Outright monster.
I wonder what church he attends?
That sounds like a confession of previous actions. GOP MEMBERS ARE MONSTERS!
Jim Crow , KKK .. They're still among us. Really thought M.A.'s "when we know better, we do better" was true for greater% of people in 2025. Now we/I know.
He needs to be impeached , resign Or arrested
That's normal for republicans. Guardians Of Pedophiles think showy talks of violence make them look strong.
Disgusting.
Just like the Klan. #MississippiBurning en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murders...
I think that's a great way to deal with the Texas GOP.
Is his real surname Himmler?
These people need to be doxed. Then they would have to think of what those words could mean to some people other than who they intend it for.
Stochastic terrorist.
Another GOP "Christian" I would have to imagine
these people are off any ideological spectrum and have simply become straight up sociopaths
Every day the GOP proudly assures us that they're POS.
Double disgusting.
And yet Hispanics vote for these GOPers.
The sickness runs through his constituents and the party that embraced him.
He’s talking mass murder of our families, our neighbors, our friends, our coworkers.
These are the same Republicans representatives who are praying prior an assembly. WAKE UP AMERICA. RESIST. Do you remember the message about the false prophet?
