a kansas republican party uh candidate for governor let's get his name right arlyn briggs uh was arrested on a felony charge he was arrested because he threatened to kill police he threatened to call police because there was a man who was being uh they were the police were searching for under uh they wanted to bring him in and question him for allegedly stalking women um and arlyn briggs let the guy stay in his house talk about good samaritan good samaritan for apparently domestic abusers and he brought this guy in his house held him there the police of course started searching for him found that he was at briggs's house and started circling his house and that's when briggs took upon himself to call the police issue a terroristic threat and tell them that that he believed in the castle doctrine which kansas is a castle doctrine state like ohio which is don't get me into the stupidity of it anybody walks on your property basically you can shoot them it's the castle doctrine and he said that he would be availing himself of those rights and shooting at deputies if they didn't leave him alone i bring this up because the criminality is so rampant in the republican party now that you see this happening again and again we talked about the michigan governor uh candidate just a little while back he was there on january 6th and he knocked over some of the barricades um he was arrested uh the other day i talked about um a state senate candidate who in rhode island who went up at a roe versus wade pro-choice rally to his opponent uh and and punched her he sucker punched her and ran away and he has since dropped out of the race think about that for a second that's just three people i mean if we go through more and more we know about the ones in office matt gaetz being obviously investigated for uh trafficking underage women and he'll probably be convicted lauren boebert for campaign finance violations not to mention uh the car crash she got into where she ditched her son in the car and and basically begged her sister-in-law at the same thing to hurt her primary chances marjorie taylor greene is also being investigated obviously on campaign finance violations they're all being investigated all of them and goes-r and gates and the rest of them gomert um when it comes to their activities on january 6th literally you have to be a criminal to be in this party at this point it is unbelievable and that's why this case i came across with arlyn briggs we've got a terrific uh incumbent democratic senate uh governor i'm sorry um in in kansas and and she is running hopefully be re-elected but like i start looking at her opponent at this guy and one of them's been arrested and then you look in in michigan arrested you look in rhode island state senator sucker punches a woman in the face at a roe rally arrested like if you don't see the tie-in between they're wanting to dominate women dominate people of color dominate anybody who's not straight white christian doesn't follow love the way they love and you know vote the way they vote most importantly but in the end like the criminality is moving up the kind of person that becomes republican at this point is pretty clear you look at who's in the party and you see it is not donald trump who by the way committed all sorts of crimes that were established yesterday from corrupt intent to assaulting a secret service agent and fraud and the rest and hopefully we'll see his own time in prison but it is not donald trump okay it's in michigan it's in order hell i didn't even mention uh the attorney general south dakota he was driving home from an event people suspect he was drinking hit somebody hit a man with his car and police later saw that it was clear the man went up on um into his windshield left the man there where he died on the road now this is somebody who maybe could have lived if he'd been given attention but but ravnsborg i can't remember his first name the last name of the attorney general of south dakota decided he'd go home sleep it off and then the next day claim oh i thought i might have hit a deer when went back the marks in the car were not consistent with a deer there's no way he could have thoroughly hit a deer and he was barely just impeached by the republican legislature plenty of republican legislators thought killing a guy and just leaving mayor on the road is okay um a few of them found their consciences and they got
