Over at Politico [politico.com], more censorship of violent, murderous rightwingers, and Congresswomen would bes.

Facebook said Friday it removed a Republican congressional candidate’s post that depicted her holding a gun next to the images of three progressive congresswomen for violating its policies against incitement of violence.

Key context: Marjorie Taylor Greene, a House candidate who has history of racist, Islamophobic and anti-Semitic remarks and who has embraced the QAnon conspiracy theory, on Thursday posted a picture of herself holding a rifle next to images of Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) — three of four members of the so-called liberal freshmen “squad.”

The photo was labeled: “SQUAD’S WORST NIGHTMARE." In the accompanying post, Greene railed against “leftists” who “want to take this country down,” adding, “American need strong conservative Christians to go on the offense against these socialists who want to rip our country apart.”

Omar on Friday called on Facebook to remove the post, which she called a “violent provocation.” The Minnesota lawmaker said the post had already prompted new death threats towards the congresswomen online.

QAnon Karen, not even sure if she's American. Looks more late 1930's German, to me. Where's the Birther Certificate? And, the teenager from Illinois? But cannot repeat this part too often:

Greene has voiced support for the baseless QAnon conspiracy theory, which claims that Trump is working to defeat a cabal of Satanic pedophiles in the U.S. government.
