    so let’s break it down

    execution is the killing part. it may be done by 3rd parties outside of the law (ie murder), or it could be the final part of a legal proceeding that leads to the death penalty

    the death penalty is the conviction at the end of a legal proceeding

    saying someone deserves the death penalty (ie jumping right to their conviction) skips the trial and sentencing etc of a normal legal proceeding. it’s not at all the same as saying someone should be tried for treason

    he said that joe biden should be killed by the state no matter how you spin it

      He said Joe Biden should ‘be put in prison and/or given the death penalty for his crimes against America.’ That clearly implies he’d accept imprisonment if the court decided on it over the death penalty. That said, I do believe if he were the judge, he’d have opted for the death penalty. I could be wrong, maybe he would have done as Jesus would and turned the other cheek, but for some reason I doubt it.
