The link doesn't work so I had to find a story on this.
Apparently it was some small-time state rep, representing a section of a small city in Montana.
He'd "reportedly" responded to a statement fed to him by some local, commie rag:

State Rep. Rodney Garcia, who represents part of Billings, Mont., in House District 52, also expressed concern about socialists “entering our government” at an event in Helena, Mont., on Friday, according to the Billings Gazette.
Asked by a reporter about the comments on Saturday, Garcia reportedly stood by them.
“So actually in the Constitution of the United States (if) they are found guilty of being a socialist member you either go to prison or are shot,” he told a reporter, according to the Billings Gazette.
“They’re enemies of the free state,” Garcia reportedly said. “What do we do with our enemies in war?”
The state’s Republican Party reportedly spoke out against the comments on Saturday. Spenser Merwin, the executive director of the Montana Republican Party, said in a statement Saturday that the party “wholeheartedly condemns the comment that was made and under no circumstance is violence against someone with opposing political views acceptable,” according to the Associated Press. He said it was a shame that Garcia’s comments had detracted from the weekend’s other events, which were intended to start off the election year.
