If she said this in the parking lot or on an answering machine, there would be a criminal inquiry.
But you can get away with a lot when you’re ‘debating’ a bill. One HELL of a lot.
Like wishing a *specific* slow and lingering death on a rival politician, his wife, and his two adopted children, age 2 and 2 months, respectively.
But Democrats are the ‘compassionate’ ones, and TRUMP is the one with damaging rhetoric.
The Illinois House was debating a bill on whether or not to override Gov. Rauner’s amendatory veto changing the upper limit to what the State can be made to pay on civil litigation cases, from $100K to $2M.
Democrat Rep. Stephanie Kifowit stood up to make her case. Did she argue about unintended negative consequences of such a limit? Did she lay out a moral case for raising it?
Not so much. She launched straight into a fantasy about her rival and his family — well, let’s hear it in her own words.
Illinois Democratic Rep. Stephanie Kifowit calls for the deaths of GOP Rep. Peter Breen's family: "I would like to make him a broth of Legionella and pump it into the water system of his loved ones so that they can be infected…they can sit and suffer…and ultimately die" pic.twitter.com/zdQmhhrJsh

Full credit to the Republican side for not letting this outrage slide.
Republican Rep. Jeanne Ives opened a can of (rhetorical) whoop-ass on Kifowit and the Democrats who nodded in agreement.
In response, Republican Rep. Jeanne Ives blasted Democrat Kifowit: "How dare you concoct up some sort of story about brewing up some batch of Legionella and having him feed it to his family…How dare you…wish death on my colleague Peter Breen, his wife, and his 2 adopted kids" pic.twitter.com/bhv5xblep9

That’s the kind of fire we expect to see in those officials we’ve elected to represent us, people don’t suffer fools gladly.
The kind of fire that propelled our President to the font of the pack in the first place.
