George Floyd 'Execution Was Staged Event' Claims Texas GOP Bexar County Chair Cynthia Brehm

She also believes COVID-19 is a Democratic hoax.
George Floyd's public execution was staged to create civil unrest, according to one Texas politician.
Cynthia Brehm — Republican Party Chair of Bexar County, one of the state's largest — posted a conspiracy theory on Facebook, claiming the killing was premeditated and set up, with the intention of stymieing Donald Trump's "rising approval rating."
In her post, entitled "George Floyd — A Staged Event?" she called on her followers to "Tell me what you think".

"These officers were involved with something, I'm not sure exactly what, but something is just not adding up," she wrote.
On Wednesday, the third-degree murder charge leveled at Derek Chauvin, the Minneapolis officer who knelt on the neck of George Floyd, was upgraded to second-degree murder, while the other three officers involved in the arrest — Thomas Lane, J.A. Keung and Tou Thao — were newly charged with aiding and abetting the homicide.
"Also this supposed officer is now missing from his home, no where to be found has the smell of MK Ultra activation," she continued, referring to the CIA mind-control experiments carried out in the 1950s.
"I think there is at the very least the 'possibility', that this was a filmed public execution of a black man by a white cop, with the purpose of creating racial tensions and driving a wedge in the growing group of anti deep state sentiment from common people, that have already been psychologically traumatized by Covid 19 fears."
She went on to claim racial and gun violence were becoming commonplace in politically contested areas, especially in election years.
"Considering the rising approval rating of President Trump in the black community, an event like this was unfortunately 'Predictable'."
The post was deleted from Facebook, but not before San Antonio Express-News columnist Gilbert Garcia grabbed a screenshot, which quickly made its way around social media — and her party colleagues.
Many of her GOP peers were not impressed, and called for her resignation.
"These comments are disgusting and have no place in the Republican Party or in public discourse," Texas Governor Greg Abbott's spokesman John Wittman said in a statement Thursday morning. "Cynthia Brehm should immediately resign her position as Chair of the Bexar County Republican Party."
Texas GOP Chairman James Dickey, Senators Ted Cruz and John Cornyn, Congressman Chip Roy and Lt. Governor Dan Patrick all called for her to step down; Travis County Republican Party Chairman Matt Mackowiak meanwhile said she has been "an embarrassment for 2 years"
She has been an embarrassment for 2 years. With this deleted FB post last night, she is now an embarrassment to @TexasGOP and @gop.
She must resign now.

Not all GOP members thought the conspiracy theory was wacky though; according to the Texas Tribune, Nueces County chairman Jim Kaelin posted the same text last week, calling it an "interesting perspective."
Last month Brehm made headlines when she declared the coronavirus pandemic was a Democrat Party hoax.
"This is America and we shouldn't have to be forced or mandated to wear a mask," she told a rally at the time, per Express News.
"Why is this happening today? I'll tell you why — all of this has been promulgated by the Democrats to undo all of the good that President Trump has done for our country, and they are worried."
"So, take off your masks, exercise your constitutional rights. Stand up, speak up, and vote Republican."
There have been almost 70,000 cases of COVID-19 reported in Texas alone so far, and 1,767 deaths.

This creature suggests that the killing of George Floyd was staged to make trump look bad. No wonder she is the chairman of the Republican Party in a county in Texas.
If true, the action is amazing in scope. It would assume that the plotters knew that Trump would reply with racist rhetoric, and un-Constitutional actions. Yet, I would wager, that Cynthia would also claim that the left was too stupid to do anything.
She wants it both ways, level as Lex Luthor for plotting, while at the same time with the intelligence of Bizarro Superman.
(sorry just re-watched Christopher Reeve's Superman, put me in comic book mode)
Trump does not need help looking bad. He pulls that off all by himself.
We're not all nuts JR.
This isn't her first rodeo either.
Screw the virus
Someone should put her quotes over a picture of a dodo bird.
This poor excuse for a human being needs a padded room. But what can you expect from the gop.
Has she been taking hydroxychloroquine?
To be in the damn gop is to be a poor misguided soul!
She's 100% correct. Oh and guess what, Epstein didn't kill himself. If you don't think there are people in power who wouldn't pay to have someone killed for their cause, you're dead wrong.
Did you read the seed? If not I copied and pasted something from it for you:
You do understand that she's saying Mr. Floyd's death was all a hoax just to get people upset
Yes and I agree. Either the event was staged or there was a coordinated effort to turn it into more of an issue than it would be in an off season. I doubt anyone will investigate it but I don't doubt it's possible.
OOOOkay there, Jung.
<backs away slowly>
Oh please. Hard to be gas lighted by people who have been blabbering about Russia and Putin for years.
Please don't run with scissors......
PUBLIC SAFETY TIP.
One of the more retarded comments I've read here, though not surprising from a rump supporter.
And that is saying a bunch Larry.....
I am watching the George Floyd funeral.
I am reminded of a family funeral last summer after Uncle Milton passed.
Black funerals are "very" different compared to my white Catholic background.
But in essence, lots a people got up and spoke about Milton's life, his retirement and living a good life right up to the
end kibitzing with lifelong friends playing dominoes at the "club" and golfing at the pubic course near the church.
Several people including the pastor insisted that Milt didn't cheat so much as he had a different way of keeping score.
We had damned good time reminiscing.
Now to immediate family they call me "Cuz" and to the rest of the extended family they call me Colonel Sanders
because that is generally what I look like in any kind of suit.
I am watching this Floyd funeral on TV and it saddens me that no matter what George did 2009
or that they found traces of drugs in his bodily remains, he should still be here. Period.
Raising his daughter,
waiting for that restaurant to reopen so he could go back to work. Growing old to sit around at the "club" playing
dominoes and pickin poke salad for tomorrows dinner, maybe playing golf with his minister and bending a few rules
like us old men tend to do, like Uncle Milton did.
.
Cythia Brehem is an idiot to think that all of this is staged and I am embarrassed that my neighbors and fellow Texans voted for this nut and that she refuses to step down.
I watched some of it a little while ago. And now, they are shutting down live coverage on CBS online. Did you see any, ANY social distancing being practiced with those people milling around. Absolutely ludicrous while we, at least here in NC, are hearing about the people of color being disproportionately affected by CoVid?
Not even to mention the protests....................gotta shake your head.
I think they tried to maintain distance on stage except when the older brother spoke.
Expect for the speakers and the deaf interpreter almost everyone had masks.
I have been on the phone a lot today so I missed Biden, but the white minister was entertaining.
We had two funerals last month, one white, one black, neither family distanced or wore masks.
We did not stay long for either.
Guess what....he did. Video tape shows NO ONE entering his cell except for the perv himself.
Now orange conman traitor in chief is floating another conspiracy theory. What the fuck is wrong with him, just proving once again he is the WORST president in the history of the US
Lets see how quickly the conspiracy pushers here on NT jump on that bandwagon.....
I remember seeing blood pouring from the back of that old man's head when he was pushed and fell on the sidewalk
Gotta admire the old guys commitment to his role
I almost spit tea all over my keyboard.
That's some morbid humor there, Free.
And people wonder when we get these Russian connections from...
Trump:.... "fell harder than he was pushed"
Can we push Trump backward and see how well his head does against concrete... I mean just as a comparison of how had he falls compared to being pushed...
I'm actually surprised it took this long for the conspiracy theorists to start peddling their nonsense, I mean CT's started about Sandy Hook in less than a day.
I'm no longer surprised at anything that drips out of the bizzaro right wing universe where up is down, a serial adulterer is their moral compass and completely insane conspiracy theories are a mid-morning snack.
This bitch needs to FOAD. Bring on my ticket because I don't give a rat's ass.
