Two Louisiana police officers were fired Monday for a Facebook post that suggested Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) should be shot.
Charlie Rispoli, an officer with the police force in Gretna, La., wrote on Facebook: “This vile idiot needs a round……..and I don’t mean the kind she used to serve,” referring to a gunshot and the lawmaker’s earlier career as a bartender. It was not clear from Rispoli’s post, which has since been deleted, whether he knew he was sharing and commenting on a story from a satire website.
