Perhaps this is the one issue on which there can be unity between Liberals and Conservatives. Lots of Conservatives would like to see Pence tarred, feathered, GITMOed and firing squaded.

It's noteworthy that the Niskanen Center think tank would take action to distance themselves from this extreme position by a Leftist.

 Quoting: Dulcius Ex Asperis


"As an organization, the Niskanen Center encourages interesting and provocative online discourse," the statement said. "However, we draw the line at statements that are, or can in any way be interpreted as condoning or promoting violence. As such, the Niskanen Center has, with a heavy heart, parted with Will Wilkinson. We thank him for his valuable contributions to the organization and wish him success in his future endeavors."

Niskanen Center is "moderate" RINO territory.


The Niskanen Center is a Washington, D.C.-based think tank that advocates environmentalism, immigration reform, civil liberties, and strengthening social insurance around market-oriented principles. The center is named after William A. Niskanen, an economic adviser to President Ronald Reagan. The Center states that its "main audience is Washington insiders," and characterizes itself as a moderate think tank.
