A freshman lawmaker reacted to the attacks in London over the weekend with a threatening social media post, calling for violence against Muslims.

The comments were made on a verified Facebook page belonging to Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.). The congressman called for hunting down and killing all “radicalized Islamic suspects.”

“The free world… all of Christendom… is at war with Islamic horror,” Higgins wrote. “Not a single radicalized Islamic suspect should be granted any measure of quarter,” he added, saying, “every conceivable measure should be engaged to hunt them down.”

“Hunt them, identity them (sic), and kill them. Kill them all. For the sake of all that is good and righteous. Kill them all,” the congressman went on, later referring to suspects as “heathen animals.”

Alongside the message was a photo of officers taking down one of the suspects in Saturday night’s assault on the London Bridge, which killed seven people and injured nearly 50. Police shot and killed all three attackers, who were wearing fake suicide bomb vests.

Higgins was a former police captain in Louisiana before being elected to Congress in 2016. A representative from Higgins’ office told The Sentinel that the verified Facebook page, which is frequently updated, belongs to the campaign. The post was flagged on Twitter by journalist Parker Molloy.

The campaign has so far not confirmed if the Congressman wrote the post himself, but it was signed, “Captain Clay Higgins.”

Last month, the same verified Facebook page posted a video featuring Higgins firing an assault rifle.

“On Election Day, I’m asking you to rise up and send a strong message to the socialists,” Higgins says in the video, wearing sleeveless SWAT team Kevlar.

“Tell the world that we’re Americans,” he added. “We’d rather die on our feet, than live on our knees.”

We’re not backing down in the face of Trump’s threats.

As Donald Trump is inaugurated a second time, independent media organizations are faced with urgent mandates: Tell the truth more loudly than ever before. Do that work even as our standard modes of distribution (such as social media platforms) are being manipulated and curtailed by forces of fascist repression and ruthless capitalism. Do that work even as journalism and journalists face targeted attacks, including from the government itself. And do that work in community, never forgetting that we’re not shouting into a faceless void – we’re reaching out to real people amid a life-threatening political climate.

Our task is formidable, and it requires us to ground ourselves in our principles, remind ourselves of our utility, dig in and commit.

As a dizzying number of corporate news organizations – either through need or greed – rush to implement new ways to further monetize their content, and others acquiesce to Trump’s wishes, now is a time for movement media-makers to double down on community-first models.

At Truthout, we are reaffirming our commitments on this front: We won’t run ads or have a paywall because we believe that everyone should have access to information, and that access should exist without barriers and free of distractions from craven corporate interests. We recognize the implications for democracy when information-seekers click a link only to find the article trapped behind a paywall or buried on a page with dozens of invasive ads. The laws of capitalism dictate an unending increase in monetization, and much of the media simply follows those laws. Truthout and many of our peers are dedicating ourselves to following other paths – a commitment which feels vital in a moment when corporations are evermore overtly embedded in government.

Over 80 percent of Truthout‘s funding comes from small individual donations from our community of readers, and the remaining 20 percent comes from a handful of social justice-oriented foundations. Over a third of our total budget is supported by recurring monthly donors, many of whom give because they want to help us keep Truthout barrier-free for everyone.

You can help by giving today. Whether you can make a small monthly donation or a larger gift, Truthout only works with your support.
