Republicans sure like to throw the word “treason” around these days. Unfortunately, they tend to throw it at everyone but our very guilty president.


Danielle Stella, who is running for Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar’s congressional seat, has been banned from Twitter for a tweet calling for Omar to be tried for treason and hanged.

WCCO in Minneapolis:

According to The Washington Times, Stella’s campaign account on Twitter (@2020MNCongress) was removed from Twitter after posting: “If it is proven @IlhanMN passed sensitive info to Iran, she should be tried for #treason and hanged.”

The account also tweeted a link to an article that aggregated her remark, along with an image of a stick figure hanging from gallows, The Washington Times reports.

A Twitter representative told the newspaper that the account was suspended for repeated violations of Twitter’s rules.

When reached for comment by the newspaper, Stella said “My suspension for advocating for the enforcement of federal code proves Twitter will always side with and fight to protect terrorists, traitors, pedophiles and rapists.”

Uh, way to make it worse, Danielle.

The WCCO story went on to note that Stella was accused of shoplifting 279 items from a Target store earlier this year.

So, yeah, another model Republican vying to be a congresswoman/Trump minion.
