The Mueller report not living up to a Democrat narrative that the media helped pushed for more than two years has people spinning like the wind to find other angles. One such approach is to take aim at something Sarah Sanders told the media about the firing of James Comey, and reporter April Ryan is calling for firings at the White House, using violent rhetoric to do so (or rhetoric she might consider violent if a Republican used it):
CNN’s April Ryan Says Sarah Sanders’ Head Should Be “Lopped Off” https://t.co/bFLFbK5PrZ

It’s time for some heads to be rhetorically “lopped off” via firings at the White House, Ryan said on CNN, as quoted by Newsbusters:
“Not only does she not have credibility, she lied. She out and out lied,” she declared as emotion welled up in her voice. “And the people, the American people can’t trust her. They can’t trust what’s said from the President’s mouthpiece-spokesperson from the people’s house. Therefore, she should be let go. She should be fired, end of story.”
Things got very dark as Ryan rhetorically suggested that since there was “a lack of credibility there, you have to start and start lopping the heads off.” She added: “It’s fire me Thursday or fire me Good Friday. She needs to go.”
Sanders’ father, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, called for Ryan’s press credentials to be yanked:

Will the @whca revoke April Ryan’s credentials? If not, they are gutless tools. CNN's April Ryan Says Sarah Sanders' Head Should Be "Lopped Off" https://t.co/8fdYiOzggf

And just like that, Ryan was on the defensive in a most ironic way while letting Huckabee know he wouldn’t go to heaven:
You sir need to sit down. You gave me a veiled threat not long ago. You call yourself a man of God? Boy bye! As your people come for me! My people see you and will do the same for you! https://t.co/M72QQACjqV

By the way you should be celebrating Good Friday or do you even remember Jesus anymore? He would not come down from the cross just to save himself! He decided to die… https://t.co/M72QQACjqV

Will you get into heaven? The answer is no! https://t.co/oUpSVVbLx2

And finally, Ryan warned Huckabee that she better not get any backlash to her backlash:
As I thank God this day and for his sacrifice as you should be doing, I have a warning for you! If anything happens to me or mine or anyone connected to me, you and your daughter and this administration will be held accountable! So you better stop now! https://t.co/oUpSVVbLx2

Wow, that’s something:
April Ryan: “you have to start lopping the heads off”
Mike Huckabee: “will the White House revoke April Ryan’s credentials?”
April Ryan: “if anything happens to me—you & your daughter & this administration will be held accountable!”
This new Leftist strategy is SO annoying. pic.twitter.com/UTflxPBTiX

Apparently the acceptability of incitement depends on who’s doing the inciting:
You literally said harm should come to Sarah Sanders … now you’re pretending you’re the one who was threatened.
And you wonder why so few of us take you the least bit seriously.

Incitement for thee, but not for me.

Why is @donlemon allowing @AprilDRyan to incite violence on his show? #CNN

You are not the victim, ffs.

She makes the threat and she's the victim. Unreal.

Classic crybullying. Call for violence, then play victim when you're held to account. https://t.co/Gturtn2Www

This is the media. This is why no one knows what to believe. This is a media for 8 years squinted at an Obama presidency to ensure they saw no evil.
Now all of a sudden they are "defending democracy."
This is bad for America, a free press is needed an objective one is vital. https://t.co/GwCzxyFLCR

Self-awareness for some in the media comes quite hard.
