"Another Republican state lawmaker has made headlines after she shared an image on her Facebook page that suggested protesters should be run over with cars. The picture contained the words "All lives splatter."
South Dakota Rep. Lynne DiSanto, posted the image on Sept. 7, less than a month after the murder of 32-year-old activist, Heath Heyer at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, according to the Argus Leader.
The post contained a picture of a car mowing down protesters and read, "Nobody cares about your protest, keep your ass out of the road." Attached to the image, DiSanto wrote, "I think this is a movement we can all support.”
After the lawmaker's post began to circulate, especially amongst progressive groups in South Dakota that called for her to apologize, DiSanto removed the post on Tuesday, nearly two weeks after it was originally put online.”*
