Ector County Republican Party-Aligned Group Calls For Lynching Of Brown Mayor

Violence in Odessa: A dangerous turn in local politics.

https://www.lonestarleft.com/p/ector-county-republican-party-aligned



Over the last month, violence between Ector County Republicans has reached peak levels. There have been multiple Republican-on-Republican incidents, and at least one has led to a police report and a press conference from county officials. While researching the incidents and trying to understand what happened, I came across a Facebook page called “Odessa Accountability Project.”

This morning, they made a Facebook post calling for the lynching of the brown Republican mayor. I only came across this post because the Ector County Republican Party shared it. In fact, the Ector County Republican Party has shared nearly every post of the Odessa Accountability Project for months (maybe longer).


The exact verbiage used was, “Mayor Javier Joven should be shot or hung from a tree.”

Shot or hung from a tree.

It's not a First Amendment thing unless it's the 'state' doing the censorship. Website owners should consider enforcing some standards as to what is allowed 'on THEIR' property. Do better, Zuck.
