Former GOP official: suggestion to "disembowel" columnist was "figurative"
A prominent Garfield County Republican told me that he was being “figurative” when he wrote on Facebook this week that “someone should disembowel” Mike Littwin, a columnist for the Colorado Independent, a progressive news outlet.
“Well, it was figurative,” he told me when asked about the Facebook post, which was obtained from a source. “I am not going to come down there with my gun and shoot him. Don’t worry.”
That’s good news, and I believe him.
Roesener, who ran for state house in 2012, went on to toss out more commonly heard verbal assaults, calling Littwin a “spineless person.” He alleged that Littwin refused an invitation to come to Garfield County to debate a local Republican. Roesener called Littwin a “1960’s hippie” who should get a “promotion to CNN.”

And after supporting violence during the campaign, he could have assumed that Trump would defend him. 
....a member of Congress wanted to do to Murkowski for voting against the McConnells healthscare bill when he described something that suggested "snatching a knot out of her..."
I have been trying to figure out exactly what that meant and how it was being proposed....as a sailor, I'm all about "knots"...the word snatched (and "snatch"
have multiple meanings and it wasn't clear what orifice he was suggesting it be done through (mouth, anus, other?). I believe it was a reference to disemboweling and I don't want to imagine the knots reference (stomach, bowels...worse?).
Bottom line - these GOP men are suggesting violent acts and are starting to get into descriptive ones at that....
This is scary
