GOP Rep. Clay Higgins threatens to shoot Black BLM protesters
Louisiana Republican Rep. Clay Higgins posted a Facebook threat against Black armed protesters, attaching a photo of armed Black men at a Black Lives Matter rally in Louisville, Kentucky, with the caption: "Come on. Let's review what you armed up, suited up, bad ass boys are going to do when your 3 a.m. patriot shows up on your porch... I'd drop any 10 of you where you stand. Nothing personal. We just eliminate the threat." Facebook removed the post for violating its policies against violence and incitement. Higgins, a sitting Congressman and former police captain, faced no congressional censure. The post came during the wave of BLM protests following George Floyd's killing.
