Transgender singer-songwriter Ethel Cain has seemingly called for the assassination of members of the Biden government and Joe Biden himself in a post on Instagram. Cain reposted an image graphic from Democracy Now regarding the Biden government’s $1 billion weapons sale to Israel, adding the comment: “We need to bring back assassinations.” He then posted a black square image while tagging Biden’s official government Instagram account with the message: “@joebiden bitch”
In a follow-up post, Cain became more irate, stating: “feel like i’m taking crazy pills living in america in this day and age. billionaires and politicians should be strung up in the street because what the hell is going on. and we can’t even have a revolution because our terroristic military would crush us in a heartbeat if we tried to revolt.”
The threats by Cain mark the latest escalation in progressive political criticism of Biden — dubbed ‘Genocide Joe‘ — and the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Hamas terrorist group in Gaza. Former President Donald J. Trump holds a significant polling lead in the 2024 presidential election over the 81-year-old Democrat incumbent. The Biden re-election campaign has struggled to shore up support among Arab American, Muslim, and progressive voters amidst his government’s ongoing aid and weapons sales to Israel.
According to 18 US Code § 871, making threats against the President of the United States is categorized as a Class E felony. Those found guilty of making threats could face a maximum sentence of five years in federal prison, a $250,000 fine, and three years of supervised release.
The National Pulse previously reported that earlier this month, the Peruvian government passed a resolution categorizing transgender, nonbinary, and intersex individuals as “mentally ill.”
