This is still gross, but can we stop taking this shit out of context? The proposal was for public executions for illegal immigrants who rape or kill an American. Again it's still gross and wrong, but it's a massive difference from this title which insinuates they want to have public executions for anyone caught illegally caught crossing the border.

This also ignores that Valentina Gomez is an attention seeking social media personality and a Missouri transplant (finished 6th of 8 candidates for Missouri Secretary of State in this year's primary) who moved to Texas at most months ago. The phrase "Texas Republican," tends to imply someone who has a modicum of power or influence in the Texas Republican Party.

The headline wants you to think a prominent elected official has proposed legislation when in actuality "Crazy Nobody Person Says Crazy Thing," is an equally apt headline. While it is disturbing that this is not sentiment totally outside the mainstream, you are correct it is not what the headline represents.
