Why we used this label
The case asks whether the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire's post about assassinating elected Democrats was a threat of political violence. Warmington, in a written statement reported by WCAX, called threats of political violence against elected Democrats abhorrent, beyond the pale, and a danger to public servants. That is an express rejection of the conduct under scrutiny, so we labeled it Condemned.
