Outrageous and dangerous: Brookfield First Selectwoman Tara Carr accuses Biden of “aiding and abetting the enemy.” Tweets “Ready. Aim. Fire. One shot, one kill. That simple…”
Tara Carr used four tweets on February 4th to accuse the President of the United States of aiding and abetting our enemy and that one gunshot should be aimed and fired in response. Carr, Brookfield’s Republican first selectwoman, added the tweet to comments about a Chinese balloon flying over the United States—but not each time she posted it.
Carr, a veteran serving her first term in Brookfield, unveiled her malign and incendiary tweet in response to a tweet from U.S. Representative Mark Green (R-TN). ”Aiding & abetting the enemy. Ready. Aim. Fire. One Shot, one kill. that simple…,” Carr wrote.
Carr’s second launch of the same message came in a tweet minutes later in response to one by former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
The third time the one-time Amazing Race contestant unleashed her call had nothing to do with a balloon. it was in response to a general declaration of praise for Biden by Vice President Kamala Harris posted by the Republican National Committee. To eliminate any doubt who she was accusing, Carr added ”He” as the first word in the amended tweet. There is no reference to the balloon in the RNC tweet.
Carr does not tweet often but she posted the ”One shot, one kill. That simple…” for the fourth time that day in reaction to another RNC tweet. This one on Biden stating ”We’re going to take care of” the balloon.
The tweets were first highlighted by sharp-eyed @ctblogger Alfonso Robinson. Carr’s four tweets were visible on her Twitter account, @TaraBrookfield, as this story was posted Sunday morning, February 19th.
Carr is not a prolific tweeter but does use the social media platform to share her views, particularly on vaccines and 5G technology.
One day before she accused Biden of ”aiding and abetting the enemy,” Carr was monitoring and commenting on a tweet by Senator Chris Murphy, a Connecticut Democrat. Murphy pointed out that Republicans put poisonous Sandy Hook conspiracy embracer Marjorie Taylor Greene on a committee that overseas school safety. Carr responded, ”Chris, tell your staff to do better. Otherwise, control your social media. these statements can’t be your own.”
Murphy irked Carr the same day with an announcement on twitter that children from low-income families will receive free swimming lessons under a federally funded program.
A day later, Carr was tweeting her call to ”one shot, one kill”—-four times. Carr does not have much staff, so there’s no reason to think the tweets did not come from her. State Democrats condemned the Carr tweets Saturday night. Republicans will reveal how far their standards have fallen if a defiant shrug becomes their response.
