Slusser Defends 'Public Hanging' Remark | St. Louis News
Description
Madison County Board Chairman Chris Slusser is facing backlash after posting a Facebook comment calling for the “public hanging” of Dr. Anthony Fauci — a remark he now claims was mere “rhetorical hyperbole” meant to demand scrutiny, not incite violence. The comment, since deleted, has ignited political firestorms locally, with even Republicans condemning the outburst and Democrats demanding his resignation. State Rep. Katie Stuart urges Slusser to apologize, calling the remark unacceptable for public office, while GOP Rep. Amy Elik joins the chorus, urging all leaders to elevate discourse — and has already spoken directly with Slusser about the incident.
