April Ryan Plays Victim After “Lop Her Head Off” Stunt

CNN's April Ryan says White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders is not credible and therefore it's time to start "lopping" her head off. pic.twitter.com/d2A5qhusW9 — Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) April 20, 2019 Archive.is

In an astounding display of hubris and zero self-awareness, April Ryan took to Twitter to threaten former Governor Mike Huckabee. The “White House Correspondent” and “CNN Political Analyst” received well deserved flak from Twitter for her comment encouraging someone to “lop off [Press Secretary Sarah Sanders] head.” The flak included her father’s call for Ryan to lose her press credentials.

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 — Gov. Mike Huckabee (@GovMikeHuckabee) April 19, 2019

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 — AprilDRyan (@AprilDRyan) April 20, 2019 Archive.is

Ryan further exacerbated the issue by acting as if she is the victim. She claimed if anything happens to her, “You and your daughter and this administration will be held accountable! So you better stop now!” This bit of ridiculous, victimhood dramatization gained all the response one would think it should. The following tweet sums it all up perfectly:

Wait just a damn minute. You said his daughter's head should be lopped off and he says your credentials should be revoked and you are the one who was is saying he and this Administration will be held responsible if anything happens to you and yours? Are you out of your damn mind? https://t.co/AE37vfiBOA — Deplorable Coal Peep ⭐⭐⭐ (@wvufanagent99) April 20, 2019 Archive.is

It shouldn’t have been a surprise to anyone, much less Ryan. It is, after all, the Left’s own rule book. Conservatives cannot even type “learn to code” without being kicked off Twitter. Accordingly, Liberals should hold no grudges when they get taken down by their own rules. It is incumbent to note what Ryan really meant when she said those words.

Follow Your Own Rules

It is a “turn of phrase” meant to convey the wish someone is terminated, usually referencing employment. She bears out that thought by saying, “It’s fire me Thursday or fire me Good Friday. She needs to go.” It is also imperative to mention threats of violence and/or death are the highest on the list of unacceptable behavior. Ryan should be free to say what she thinks without fearing for her life.

That does not make Ryan immune from the consequences of her words. When one sets out to control society by declaring certain speech “hate,” “phobia,” and “racism.” one must never discount that the tables may be turned on them. Society has long held that the rule-maker must adhere to their own rules. Ryan should be held to her own standards.

Here is one, final thought. People who have been tired of their rights being systematically stripped from them, and every word they say twisted into tiny little knots, will indeed hold you to the same standard you held them to for a very long time. We either throw the rule-book out and employ common decency, or we all follow the same rules.
