Steve Deace is a far-right broadcaster who has repeatedly called for violence against his political opponents, including openly declaring that he wants to see "antifa members hanging from gallows in Trump ties." Predictably, Deace is livid about the anti-ICE protests that have been occurring in Minnesota and is calling on President Donald Trump to "stop trying to be reasonable" and embrace the authoritarian label by making an example out of those who have dared to resist him.
Appearing on "The Eric Metaxas Show" earlier this week, Deace was outraged that Trump seems to be "afraid of being branded authoritarian."
"We get called that no matter what we do anyway," Deace fumed. "So why don't we actually pass the legislation that we want, that we believe in? If they're going to call us that no matter what we do, stop trying to be reasonable."
"Why get all the blowback for what we say we're going to do and what we claim to believe and then not follow through?" he added. "We might [as well] get some of the benefit for it."
"Someone must be made an example out of," Deace proclaimed. "A community must be made an example out of so it's a cautionary tale, so that everybody still knows what Sodom and Gomorrah means. It's been 4,000 years; everybody knows. An example must be made. We've not made an example out of anybody yet."
