These convicted murderers were not, in fact, murdered by President Trump and she knows it:
Not one was murdered. Each was convicted unanimously of 1st-degree murder & sentenced to death by a jury. Each had extensive due process of law, including years of legal appeals.
The names you should say are those of their victims. Do you know — or care — who those victims were? https://t.co/6rFyf2oAdy

And we need to focus on the victims here:
The people on this list killed a combined 32 people.
Anything about their victims? https://t.co/ynErPTiIi0

Say their names, Rep. Bush:
How about we say the names of their victims too? For instance, Daniel Lee was a white supremacist who murdered William & Nancy Mueller & her 8-year-old daughter, Sarah Powell, by shooting them w/ a stun gun, duct-taping plastic bags around their heads, & drowning them in a bayou. https://t.co/LIoCodtVz0

For example:
Orlando Hall with others tortured, raped and murdered 16 year old Lisa Rene after she answered the door.
They were looking for her brother over a money dispute involving drugs. https://t.co/mHb4KLox5U pic.twitter.com/qN8vtQC6XP

And:
Daniel Lee was a white supremacist who murdered a family, including an 8 year old girl. https://t.co/mHb4KLox5U

The stories are so awful:
Alfred Bourgeois: on death row in 2004.
The Department of Justice said that he "physically and emotionally tortured, sexually molested, and then beat to death his two-year-old daughter.https://t.co/Bdqasg5Lq6 https://t.co/W7gXEf6vZH

Does she not see just how offensive her tweet was?
Daniel Lee – Suffocated a man, woman & their 8-year-old daughter before throwing them in a swamp
Wesley Purkey – Kidnapped & murdered a 16-year-old girl
Dustin Honken – Murdered five people in Iowa, two of whom were children https://t.co/IpJuPS2i2W

It’s one thing to be against the death penalty, but this take from Rep. Bush is just insane:
Its fine to oppose the death penalty and argue for other ways of keeping vile, depraved murderers and rapists off the streets.
But pretending they are the victims and glorifying them like you are doing is a slap in the face to their many innocent real victims.
