“The statement that was made by the North Carolina GOP spokesperson is not the kind of statement that should be made in a democracy,” Brendan Nyhan, a political scientist at Dartmouth College, said.
A spokesman for the North Carolina Republican Party appeared to threaten ProPublica, urging President Trump to “feed” the news outlet to the “USAID wood chipper,” over a story it published on a prominent conservative state Supreme Court judge.
N.C. GOP spokesman urges reporter to drop news story, citing Trump ties
Communications director Matt Mercer later said in a social media post that Trump should “feed ProPublica to the USAID wood chipper.”

My mom has a ham in the deep freezer; she buys them post-Easter. More than a decade ago, she told me to secret family recipe. After making incidental hams, and one a Thanksgiving years ago, I've been tasked with cooking THE Thanksgiving ham this year.
