Brauer is unapologetic, and tried to justify his wish that Carpenter’s children die by citing “the pain her boss is inflicting on Americans.”

Tenoch Flores, spokesman for the California Democratic Party, told Yahoo! News political reporter Chris Moody that such rhetoric “lets fringe characters” like Ted Cruz “off the hook” and that it was “never acceptable to wish physical harm against political opponents, regardless of how objectionable their policy priorities are.”
