A Republican political hopeful from
Pennsylvania who is a huge Trump
supporter and does not believe
the Biden won the 2020 election.
Has now stated that he plans on
using violence and intimidation
against school board officials
who implement mask mandates.
Now this person is Steve Lynch.
He's a personal trainer and
antimaxxer who is running for
the North Hampton county executive
position in Pennsylvania.
Let's hear what he has to say.
>> But plan on going into
school boards and other strong men.
Men, where are you?
Men wake up, know the coffee.
Let's go make men plead again..
Make men men again.
Lets go men.
We need you.
Men, I need you.
I need you in the coming weeks
because when we walk into
the school boards, we're going to
have everything we need to do to go
in there with those nine snowboards
that vote to put these masks back
on the children with no scientific.
It's done giving
them the research and the data.
Do you understand that?
Forget going into these school
boards and bringing data.
you're going into school boards to
remove them.
That's what you do.
[APPLAUSE] >> They don't
follow the law.
They don't follow the law.
You going in and remove them.
I'm going into 20 strong man.
I'm going to speak for the school
board and I'm going to give them
an option they can leave or
they can be removed.
[APPLAUSE] >> And
then after that we're going to
replace them with nine parents and
we're going to vote down the masks
mandates that evening.
This is how you get stuff done,
forget about the legislators,
forget it.
They're not listening.
You got to do something.
It's us, it's we the people.
When I see criminals trying to take
my wife and my beautiful children,
everything that they're going to
do, you're going to have to
take my life.
There's no way I'll die
on this hill.
There's no way.
No way.
[APPLAUSE] >> So there you have it.
This is one of many stories
involving right wingers who
are either running for political
office or are in political office
or in other positions of power.
Essentially, advocating for
the use of violence
toward those who implement policies
during the pandemic that
are meant to keep people safe but
they just happen to disagree with.
Now he's free to take his children
out of the schools if he doesn't
want the mask, but
he doesn't have the right,
like here's the other thing, right?
What about parents who want their
children to wear masks?
What about those parents?
because there are more of those
parents compared to idiots who
want to keep kids unsafe or
want to risk the lives of educators
by doing away with mask mandates.
I should note by the way that eight
out of the ten
Northampton County School districts
have implemented masked mandates.
Maybe that's why he's so fired up.
Or maybe he's just using this as
his culture war issue of choice as
he campaigns for this position.
>> Yeah.
He says that's a hill I'll die on.
Well, that might be literal.
For conservative talk show hosts
died this week.
They were all against vaccines.
They didn't take them, and they got
Coronavirus, and they died.
And one was called himself Mr.
Antivax.
Mr. Antivax is dead because he made
a terrible mistake of not taking
the vaccine.
I know we're supposed to
have sympathy for them, whatever.
They poison the minds
of all their listeners.
They said over and over again how
vaccines they made fun of vaccines.
It was freedom, but he don't look
you tell conservative media
seat belts are a former Tyranny.
Will have thousands
of right-wingers flying out of
their windshields within the year.
I'm not joking, if they did it with
Tucker Carlson did it,
Trump did it, Alex Jones did it.
Those conservative talk show
host did it.
They'd all stop wearing seatbelts
and they'd all start flying out of
windshields.
They'll believe anything that these
conservative media says anything,
>> The seatbelt argument I don't
really like because, first of all,
you should wear seatbelts.
I agree with seatbelt laws clearly.
But if you decide you don't want to
wear a seatbelt and you get into
a car accident and you die as
a result of your actions, right?
What these clowns
are advocating for
is doing away with easy measures
that are meant to keep people safe
during a pandemic that deals with
a highly contagious virus, right?
So, look, you want to drink bleach,
drink bleach,
I don't really care, right?
I don't I genuinely don't.
That guy wants to do whatever
he wants to do that
only affects himself.
I don't care.
But when your actions could get
other people killed,
that's when you care.
That's when I care.
>> Ana, I got you, but I use it as
an example because it's so
easy to understand.
You know what I did it on social
media earlier today.
You know what happened?
But your right wingers started
saying, yeah, wait a minute,
why do we need seatbelts?
That is a little bit early.
>> They never thought about that.
>> Right. >> So is prosecution for
drunk driving also tyranny in their
minds?
>> Anything where they don't get to
do whatever they want is tyranny
to them.
I my freedom, they want to endanger
you because of a petulant little,
you know what you are.
Now back to this guy,
he seems obsessed with strong men.
He's like, I want those strong men.
I want him so bad.
Okay, whatever, dude, bring him to
your 20 strong men to your own
house and do whatever you guys want
to do in that house, okay?
But going around saying,
hey, let's go physically remove
the board members.
No, that's a direct thread on
specific people, that is illegal.
Do we have laws in this country?
Do we have any laws left?
This is total anarchy.
Because the government will not
enforce laws against right wingers.
It is such a specific and
insane exception.
Everyone has to follow the law
unless you're right winger,
in which case you could threaten
violence.
You could do violence,
you can do anything you want.
You're above the law.
And guys, maybe what this has done
is exposed it.
That it has been this way all
along.
We didn't know we thought we all,
do the laws apply to all of us?
Maybe I guess the right wingers,
especially the ones in power.
They've been ignoring
the laws all along.
Going [LAUGH] those aren't for us,
those are for brown people and
women and people we don't like.
We're not going to follow the laws
if we do that right your
legislators she said don't write
your legislators.
That's democracy.
No dude could be a thug,
be a criminal, be a brown shirt.
Go and physically assault people
you don't agree with.
What right when you're giving
a damn about democracy.
Which is a bunch of thugs.
You know what?
You should do with those thugs,
put them in jail.
That's where that guy belongs.
That was a clear thread.
And the reality is apparently law
enforcement and governments mayors,
governors, they're all cowards.
My god if I was a right winger
the rest of them will cry.
So what, let them cry,
they're weak.
They like to cry for a living.
Let him cry in the corner of a jail
cell if they break the law.
