NC lawmaker says Lincoln 'unjustly invaded' the South, a 'sovereign nation'

[TexasTowelie]

RALEIGH -- It started when N.C. legislator Larry Pittman compared Republican U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis to a Democrat.

It escalated after Tillis’ wife responded.

And it boiled over Thursday when Pittman compared President Abraham Lincoln to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler — for the second time since 2017.

“It was only a matter of numbers,” Pittman wrote on Facebook, responding to another Facebook user. “Lincoln was responsible for the unnecessary deaths of 800,000 Americans. Hitler was responsible for millions more. Both unjustly invaded and subjugated sovereign nations.”

N.C. House leaders took a rare public stance against one of their own Thursday as they condemned Pittman, a Republican firebrand from Cabarrus County who has become known for making controversial remarks.

2. and he's an elected official.

so while mitch mcconnell is busy saying we don't need to pay reparations because all those bad people are dead, this idiot is still defending the confederacy. when will they ever learn.

but enough people voted for him to put him in office. of course republicans are so corrupt we don't really know he won his seat fairly.

3. LOL, I am sorry that Gen Sherman didn't do his thing in the entire south...

there is a way traitors should be treated after a rebellion attempt. He did go thru NC and SC after he finished his march to the sea from Atlanta.


too bad our leaders in the House can;t summon the same level in how to deal with actions against us and our Constitution.

5. I'm really tired of seeing articles about this lunatic.

He needs to be sanctioned, penalized and removed by whatever means necessary.

7. It's the first that I heard of him,

but he does sound like a royal PITA. I'll keep my fingers crossed that the next time I post about him it will be because he was defeated at election time.

8. Thanks, TT. His outlandish behavior has unfortunately made him the

"talk of the town." He's quite a piece of work.

9. You're so proper and polite.

I know that you intended to end your last sentence with a different four-letter word that rhymes with "spit."

10. Ha!
