Don’t dismiss Jesse Watters’ call to “ambush” Fauci with a “kill shot.” That’s incitement, not ‘just words.’
Want to know how I know? Another Fox host, Bill O’Reilly, did the same thing to a relative of mine.
And George Tiller was assassinated during at church.

Fox’s Jesse Waters is following in the footsteps of Bill O’Reilly, throwing gasoline on the fire — and the audience listens.
I wrote about George Tiller’s assassination here, and what it tells us about the mechanics of American terrorism:

1. I listened.
2. Incitement to violence can use metaphorical language; this argument is an old one and, in fact, one that often cynically wields the First Amendment as a shield.
3. Bill O’Reilly’s viewers argued the same - then one assassinated my uncle.
4. I have a Ph.D.

1. I’m not a liberal.
2. My critique uses the example of my uncle, whose assassination predates January 6 — by a decade.
3. In context of the pandemic and volatile current climate, any reasonable person would choose better ‘metaphorical’ language.

If Ilhan Omar used “kill shot” and “ambush” to describe any figure on the right, Jesse Watters’ defenders would call that incitement — and, likely, more.
I doubt she would, though.
She knows a Black Muslim woman doesn’t enjoy the same latitude for “metaphorical” speech.

Ilhan Omar is Muslim and wears a hijab. Maxine Waters isn’t Muslim and doesn’t wear a hijab.
They are not the same Black woman, and reading compression is a valuable life skill.
I hope that helps.
