former tea party congressman and conservative radio host joe walsh (r-il) recently took to twitter to announce his plans for armed insurrection against the government when republican   loses the election in a few weeks. on november 8th, i<u+2019>m voting for trump.

this is not the first time the outspoken radical has made controversial remarks. he responded to the tragic shootings of police officers in dallas by a lone wolf sniper by openly calling for a race war. before that, walsh called for the journalists at msnbc and cnn to be beheaded for refusing to show the charlie hebdo cartoons that provided the justification for the terrorist attacks committed by a cell claiming allegiance to al-qaeda in the arab peninsula (aqap) against the publication<u+2019>s offices in january 2015. 




the denizens of twitter quickly responded with vicious mockery of the outrageous tea party demagogue: joe walsh, charging the capitol steps 




flintlock musket in hand 




barks his shin real bad 




thus the revolution died 




<u+2014> simon maloy (@simonmaloy) october 26, 2016 @walshfreedom shouldn<u+2019>t that musket be auctioned off to pay the child support you owe? 




<u+2014> jacqui rodham (@heyjdey) october 26, 2016 . @walshfreedom i would highly encourage you to take your musket and point it at the nearest armed police officer 




<u+2014> evil roy slade (spoo (@evilroysladeds) october 26, 2016 . @walshfreedom do you often invite people to joint musket-grabbing sessions?
