"Kill them all" says Rep. Clay Higgins about radical Islamist in a social media post that is gaining much attention. The Republican congressman from Louisiana posted Sunday on Facebook that “all of Christendom” is at war with “Islamic horror” and all “radicalized Islamic suspects” should be hunted and killed.
Star-Telegram reports that United States Rep. Clay Higgins, R-La., posted following a terror attack in London over the weekend that left at least six people dead. Higgins, is reportedly known as the “Cajun John Wayne”. He was elected in a December runoff between two Republicans with 56 percent of the vote and represents southwestern Louisiana on the Gulf of Mexico. Every parish in his district voted for President Donald Trump. However, the vote for President Trump is not the story here. The call to a holy war is what deserves careful attention coming from this member of congress.
The congressman’s post appeared along with a photo of British officer standing over one of the London attackers. The terrorists drove a van into pedestrians on the London Bridge and then ran into an area full of bars and restaurants, stabbing people. Seven people died and police shot and killed all three attackers within eight minutes of the first emergency call. British police on Monday named two of the suspects as Khuram Butt, a British citizen with whom authorities were familiar, Rachid Redouane, and Youssef Zaghba.
His website says Higgins is a Christian “known for his refreshing focus on the power of the individual to be redeemed.” He recently introduced bills in the House as part of a reauthorization of the Department of Homeland Security and said “we are duty bound to protect our homeland.”
President Trump, who during the campaign called for a “total and complete shutdown” of Muslim immigration into the U.S., has renewed his calls for a travel ban following the London attack.
