Top Trump Supporters Call For His Own Administration Official to Be Executed in Shocking Posts

A pair of prominent supporters of President Donald Trump explicitly called for the execution of a top advisor from Trump’s first term.
On Wednesday, political commentator Tim Young posted a tweet about Dr. Deborah Birx, who served as White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. She was first appointed by then-Vice President Mike Pence, but her relationship with the administration — specifically Trump — eroded over time. Trump has since gloated that firing her was “one of the greatest privileges I had as President.” In that same post, however, Trump went out of his way to compliment Birx for her “nice scarves.”
In the tweet, Young claimed Birx should be charged “with the crimes she committed” with former Chief Medical Advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci.
In response to that tweet, BlazeTV host Steve Deace took it a step further when he referenced the Nuremberg Trials and suggested Birx be hung. Like Trump, he went out of his way to make a note about Birx’s scarves.
“She should be marched before a tribunal and put on trial for crimes against humanity,” Deace said in a tweet, “with the ultimate penalty if she’s found guilty to be hung by her bedazzled scarf Nuremberg-style.”
As some kind of morbid joke, radio host Eric Metaxas then corrected Deace’s grammar by noting that the proper term was “hanged.”
