During Thursday night’s episode of Timcast IRL, Human Events Daily host Jack Posobiec condemned Senator Lindsey Graham's calls for Russian President Vladimir Putin to be assassinated.
As the episode was streaming live, Posobiec announced that Graham had called for this action unambiguously on Twitter. It was noted on air that this is likely a "Hague crime," in reference to the International Criminal Court, which prosecutes crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and crimes of aggression.
After reading out the tweet, which questions whether there is someone like Brutus, who was one of those who assassinated Julius Caesar, or Colonel Stauffenberg, who was best known for his failed attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler, within Russia who would assassinate their leader, Posobiec said: "You need to resign."
Posobiec continued the calls for Graham’s resignation through Monday morning, writing on Twitter:
Neocons can order assassinations on Twitter but Trump can't tweet

It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy
We're at the point that if you say you don't think threatening to assassinate world leaders is a good idea you are immediately labeled. What a sad state of affairs in the West. We are so stupid.

There's no bigger chicken hawk than Lindsey Graham

Nothing but big talk that the families of the American people should go and fight in endless wars that he will never lift a finger to fight himself
Chicken Hawk Lindsey
Has Lindsey Graham or any of these psychopaths even considered who would take over if Putin is assassinated?

"Is there a Brutus in Russia? Is there a more successful Colonel Stauffenberg in the Russian military? The only way this ends is for somebody in Russia to take this guy out. You would be doing your country - and the world - a great service," Graham said in a tweet on Thursday.
"The only people who can fix this are the Russian people. Easy to say, hard to do. Unless you want to live in darkness for the rest of your life, be isolated from the rest of the world in abject poverty, and live in darkness you need to step up to the plate," he added.
Graham was blasted by fellow Senator Ted Cruz for the tweet, who said the calls for an assassination are an "exceptionally bad idea."
This is an exceptionally bad idea.

Use massive economic sanctions; BOYCOTT Russian oil & gas; and provide military aid so the Ukrainians can defend themselves.
But we should not be calling for the assassination of heads of state. https://t.co/crPGHw9xyJ
