Texas Dem Threatens To Kill Republican Rep On Legislative Floor After He Called ICE On Illegals

We’ve repeatedly warned that the division festering among the Left and Right could soon lead to violence across America and the real possibility of a civil war. Earlier this year we reported that Anti-Fascist groups were beginning to arm themselves for physical violence after taking a beat down in Berkeley.

And while attacks have thus far been limited to protesters clashing on college campuses and speaking venues for Republicans, things have now taken a drastic turn.

Hours ago, as supporters of illegal immigration massed to protest the policies being put into place by the new White House administration and the Texas State government, two Texas legislators nearly came to blows in the Capital.

According to Republican legislative representative Matt Rinaldi, he was accosted by Democrat Poncho Nevarez.

The argument stemmed from the fact that scores of protesters were waving signs in Austin, TX, with many identifying themselves as illegal immigrants. Rinaldi reportedly had enough of the disturbance and contacted ICE agents. When Rinaldi advised the House Floor that the agents had been contacted, Nevarez apparently lost total control of his faculties and began assaulting him, to the point that other legislators had to step in to break up the fight.

Nevarez then directly threatened violence against Rinaldi because of his call to ICE. Reports claim that not only did Nevarez threaten Rinaldi’s life but indicated that he would wait for Rinaldi to leave the legislature and would get him on the way to his car.

Rinaldi, who is a concealed handgun licensee, responded by saying that he would shoot in self defense if forced to and reportedly said that he would put a bullet in the head of Nevarez if confronted.

But even after the protest ended, tensions remained high. Rep. Ramon Romero, a Democrat from Fort Worth, said he was standing with fellow Democratic Rep. Cesar Blanco of El Paso when Republican colleague Matt Rinaldi came over and said: “This is BS. That’s why I called ICE.”

Rinaldi, of Irving in suburban Dallas, and Blanco then began shouting at each other. A scuffle nearly ensued before other lawmakers separated the two.

Later, a group of Democratic lawmakers held a press conference to accuse Rinaldi of threatening to “put a bullet in the head” of someone on the House floor during a second near scuffle. They said the comment was made in the direction of Democratic Rep. Poncho Nevarez, from the border town of Eagle Pass.

In a subsequent Facebook statement, Rinaldi admitted saying he’d called federal authorities and threatened to shoot Nevarez — but said his life was in danger, not the other way around.

“Nevarez threatened my life on the House floor after I called ICE on several illegal immigrants who held signs in the gallery which said ‘I am illegal and here to stay,'” Rinaldi wrote. He said Democrats were encouraging protesters to ignore police instructions and, “When I told the Democrats I called ICE, Representative Ramon Romero physically assaulted me, and other Democrats were held back by colleagues.”

Rinaldi took to Facebook to share details of the incident and express his concerns:

Supporters of undocumented and illegal immigration will no doubt applaud the threats made by Poncho Nevarez, underscoring just how tense the situation has become across the country.

The only question now is… how long until the shooting starts?

Swear out a warrant...

The only question now is ... how long until the shooting starts?

Not the only question ... because you also have to ask yourself if you are prepared for this eventuality. If you are not, get prepared now. Conservatives don't advocate being the first to pull the trigger, but we surely do advocate being the last.

Last line....

[just me]

The left will fight to keep the illegal voters.

I like Spanish channels. Univision has the most beautiful women.

So, did ICE show up and round up some of the invading barbarians?

I’m wonderin why the Texas police didn’t check IDs and adios those without a Texas ID

[The_Media_never_lie]

Will listen later. Disgusting if facts were altered to fit agenda.

Could have sworn the LMSM radio told me this morning that Rinaldi threatened to kill nevarez. I don’t recall anything from it about Rinaldi being threatened.

Yup. It’s a pretty short segment. I listened to it before I had any details, and was led to believe the Republican was a horrible, horrible person for threatening to shoot a Democrat in the head with a gun.

[Theo]

That’s exactly what I heard as well, on NPR’s Morning Edition this morning.

[dandiegirl]

Did the ILLEGALS vote this guy in or the American citizens. Last I checked ILLEGALS can’t vote. Why is he so protective of them over AMERICAN citizens that voted him in?

[dandiegirl]

It’s never a democrat’s fault.

The English language is an odd thing as it is the so called “anti-fascists”, who are the real fascists.

.
Has Nevarez been incarcerated yet?

And if not, why not?

>> “No need to slash the tires.” <<

True!

A Casal .454 held to the sidewall of the outside tire will penetrate all four sidewalls.

The NPR account, and Representative Rinaldi’s account are totally different. Knowing NPR is a fake news station, Rep. Rinaldi is far more credible.
