GOP Rep. Clay Higgins posts about killing Muslim extremists on Facebook
Following the June 3, 2017 London Bridge terrorist attack, Louisiana Republican Rep. Clay Higgins posted on Facebook calling for mass killings of Muslim extremists worldwide: "Not a single radicalized Islamic suspect should be granted any measure of quarter. Every conceivable measure should be engaged to hunt them down. Hunt them, identify them, and kill them. Kill them all. For the sake of all that is good and righteous. Kill them all." Facebook eventually removed the post. Higgins, a sitting U.S. Congressman, issued no retraction. Fellow Louisiana Rep. Cedric Richmond called the post "dumb and reckless."
