A Lousiana congressman is making headlines after publishing a Facebook post proclaiming that “all of Christendom is at war with Islamic horror” and imploring the U.S. to hunt, identify and kill extremists.
“The free world… all of Christendom… is at war with Islamic horror. Not one penny of American treasure should be granted to any nation who harbors these heathen animals,” Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.) wrote on his Facebook page. “Not a single radicalized Islamic suspect should be granted any measure of quarter. Their intended entry to the American homeland should be summarily denied.”

And Higgins, who posted these comments to his page on Sunday — presumably in response to the terror attack in London over the weekend — wasn’t done there. He went on to say that the U.S. should vigilantly go after terrorists wherever they reside.
“Every conceivable measure should be engaged to hunt them down,” he said. “Hunt them, identify them, and kill them. Kill them all. For the sake of all that is good and righteous. Kill them all.”
