Following the killing of at least five police officers in Dallas overnight, a former one-term congressman from Illinois ignited a firestorm with a now-deleted tweet threatening President Obama with “war” and warning Black Lives Matter demonstrators to “watch out.”

“3 Dallas cops killed, 7 wounded,” former Rep. Joe Walsh, an Illinois Republican, wrote just before midnight, in a tweet that is no longer on his profile: “This is now war. Watch out Obama. Watch out black lives matter punks. Real America is coming after you.”

I'm guessing he has an interview with law enforcement in his future.

No media will report it, but conservative media has shunned and attacked him for that statement.

Nor will anyone else that rushes to their computer to feign outrage about the news.

Who wants to bet the FBI and Secret Service are taking this nut seriously?

You are a complete moron if you threaten the President. Hope he likes prison.

So weird that the mass killing of police officers by a wing of the BLM Progressivism that Obama cheerleads for would get a negative reaction. Just crazy.

That's what happens when an angry man is awake at midnight drinking a toddy. Amazing what power fingers and social media have.


Im in no way excusing what he said, just saying how dumb it was and how having a voice to the world at our finger tips isn't a great thing some times

I don't view that as a "threat", more along the lines of Obama needs to get this decisive situation under control or suffer blood on his hands and BLM protestors aren't representative of most of America, nor will Americans tolerate domestic terrorism from this group or any racially motivated group and will demand accountability and push back against them.

His words are poorly chosen, but this is nothing compared to some of the hate filled speech geared towards white people that has been flying off the rails.

Point blank, we need the president to actually lead. He has set this toxic tone in this country and is the most responsible party outside of the shooters involved in these events. He's pandered to the lowest common denominator and reinforced their behavior.
