DailyKenn.com — If silence is violence, as some social justice warriors say, then we can hold top-tier Democrats accountable for their complicit support of Odessa Kelly.

Kelly is a Tennessee candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives who is challenging Rep. Jim Cooper, D-Tenn.

She has a history of social media posts calling for violence against Republican leaders. 

Just joking? Kelly apparently noted her calls for violence were made in jest. We wonder: If a Republican congressional candidate had made similar jokes about killing Democrats, would the likes of Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota remain silent?

"Day 9: Allow Pelosi to hire the best pimp that Memphis or Detroit has to offer to Smack tha [emoji] outta Ted Cruz and the rest uv’em...(y’all know the ones)!" she wrote.

Also on the list were suggestions that Kelly specifically said were in jest, such as "Day 4: Blow Up Maralago," referring to Trump's Florida resort and residence, and "Day 5: Disappear Mitch to some secret CIA prison."

Aside from her jokes, Kelly's Facebook history includes an April 2012 post about how she was attending a speech being delivered by anti-Semitic Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan and a May 2020 post declaring, "If you vote for Trump, YOU ARE A RACIST!"
