A Billings Republican legislator said Saturday he believes the U.S. Constitution calls for the shooting or jailing of those who identify as socialists.
State Rep. Rodney Garcia, from House District 52 on the South Side, first made a statement in the form of an unprompted question at a state party gathering in Helena Friday meant to kick off election season and offer training for party members and candidates.
In his question after a speech by former Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke, who was Montana’s representative in the U.S. House for two years, Garcia said he was concerned about socialists “entering our government” and socialists “everywhere” in Billings, before saying the Constitution says to either shoot socialists or put them in jail.

I would be happy if self admitted communists/socialists where not allowed to make the pledge of allegiance when becoming a representative. To me this is a deterioration of law and order
I can live with that.
Something has to be done about this disease.
If socialists can be shot do you burn commies at the stake?
He’s not wrong, y’know
It’s a good idea to kill socialists before they kill you.
“ I kill communists for fun.” -Scarface.
Penumbras anyone?

I'm sure it's in the "Penumbra", right next to abortion. Nothing in the Penumbra can even be questioned. That's the law.
Whats not to love about what he said.If the socialists had their way we would be stood up against the wall in a skinny minute.
“Does he have a campaign contribution website?”
Maybe but politics in Montana is different.
The House and the Senate meet for 90 days (only) beginning in January of each odd numbered year. The office holders get a per diem while in session and NO compensation through the remainder of the next two years. They actually WORK for 90 days then the state maintains for the next 21 months...
At the very least Quarantine them as it must be an infectious disease causing the brain damage.
I think this guy's heart is in the right place, but there are some things best left unsaid.
The real disgrace is the reporterette...
In this year's presidential election, President Donald Trump has often called Democrats "radical socialists" in an attempt to use the term socialism, which is defined as theories about collective or government ownership and operation of the means of production and distribution, as a boogeyman-like phrase to criticize proposals from Democrats where the federal government would play a larger role in areas like health care or education.
All but one of the Democratic Party candidates have repeatedly explained they are not socialists, while Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders calls himself a democratic socialist.
Nobody should buy that crap.
“rope is recyclable...”
Rope is slow.
But the Liberals always say it’s okay to have “a discussion”.
They mean they want to lecture you as to why you are racist for opposing them.
Only because there were no helicopters when the constitution was written.
I thought we had a “living” constitution that has to “evolve” with the needs of society.
