Denver’s NBC affiliate reports:
Conservative political activist and DCF Guns co-owner Joe Oltmann, who has long used violent political rhetoric, is now calling for the execution of President Joe Biden. Oltmann made the comment Friday on MyPillowGuy Mike Lindell’s far-right broadcast network, FrankSpeech .
Oltmann was reacting to President Joe Biden’s support for a ban on so-called assault weapons in his Thursday State of the Union address to Congress. For years, Oltmann has explicitly called for the deaths of his political opponents through treason trials and executions.
“I want to send the mainstream media to the gallows, radical leftists to the gallows, traitors to our nation to the gallows, and they all kind of fit in the same bucket,” Oltmann said on his Conservative Daily Podcast in December 2021.

Oltmann is the founder of FEC United, a political group that has collected signed loyalty pledges from Republican elected officials and candidates in Colorado. The Southern Poverty Law Center describes FEC United as “an anti-government group with its own militia.”

Mark Pitcavage, a leading researcher on extremism, says Oltmann’s rhetoric is especially dangerous because it is broadcast to an audience and could “reach omeone who might be out unbalanced, volatile, angry, violent, who might then go out and try to commit an act of violence.”
