DEMOCRATIC PARTY PULLS SUPPORT FOR NC HOUSE CANDIDATE SHELLY HEADEN:
[Headen’s] posts include comments about an attack on some conservative states and suggest violence could be more effective than peaceful protest.
The party said the comments “violate everything our party represents.”*
Headen told WFDD she does not remember making the posts but apologized to those hurt by them. She said she understands the party’s decision to withdraw its support.
“They’re doing what’s best for the party, and that’s what they should do,” Headen said. “At the end of the day, we just need to get back to normalcy. Whatever it takes. If, you know, one person gets sacrificed which is me, that’s fine.”

MAGA will keep winning if we continue with not standing up for what’s right.”

Turley’s tweet concludes:
“Visiting Dauchau [sic] Concentration Camp in Germany… This is where Trump supporters belong.”
As he writes in a follow-up tweet, “Headen is an example of how rage can consume you. What these rage addicts do not admit is that they like it.”
