Calling for violence, mayhem and death.

"Michele Morrow, the Republican nominee for state superintendent of public schools, is denying she’s calling for violence if she loses the election."

The English language, US version, is a precise tool.
And certain words have fixed meanings and implications.

Is she saying . . . if I don't get my way, people will die?
Sounds like it.
Lock her up! Lock her up NOW!

More words-she-doesn't-mean from her:

"GOP nominee to run North Carolina public schools called for violence against Democrats, including executing Obama and Biden"
