Tea Party Host Wants Black Lawmakers Who Skip Netanyahu Speech ‘Hanging From A Noose’
A Tea Party radio host isn’t mincing words about what she wants for some members of the Congressional Black Caucus.
Andrea Shea-King is a birther and a Tea Party radio host who refers to herself as “Central Florida’s First Lady of Space Coast Conservatism.” She recently shared her thoughts about members of the Congressional Black Caucus, who are planning to boycott Israel Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu’s speech to Congress this morning.
“I would like to think that these guys could pay with their lives, hanging from a noose in front of the U.S. Capitol building,” Shea-King said in an audio clip published Monday by Right Wing Watch. “Because what they are doing is putting their own interests above that of America. And to me, that is criminal. Criminal.”
“Most of those members who are opting out of attending the speech are members of the Congressional Black Caucus. And their districts are all dumb clucks. Because the dumb clucks wouldn’t be electing these people if they knew better.”
And she didn’t stop there, attacking people who elected the Black lawmakers.
“How do people like this get to represent us in Congress?” she asked. “Because there are stupid people out there in those congressional districts who are so ignorant it’s dangerous…. Stupid, stupid people. Our lives are on the line and all they can think of is skin color. All of us will turn black if we end up in a cage on fire.”

On Twitter, Shea-King has been retweeting what appear to be hundreds of responses to her call for hanging.
