The TFA has vowed to take on its opponents, elimating them like "political snipers."

Steven Hale:

I reached Harris at his office, but he hung up in the middle of a question about whether or not he has any concern that such violent rhetoric, even in metaphoric terms, could have consequences beyond his intent. When I called back and told him we had apparently been disconnected, he corrected the record.

"No we weren't. I hung up. I don't have time for your silliness," he said before hanging up again.
